Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Salem, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Salem, MA typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
Marriages break up all the time in the United States. Despite what people read, there are really no set statistics for divorce rates. So-called “experts” say that the rate is anywhere between 20 percent and 50 percent, but no-one really knows. One thing that people do know, though, is the fact that out of the divorces that do happen, a great many of them are caused through infidelity. More and more people are seeking counseling for infidelity issues in order to try to save their marriages if possible and avoid getting divorced and becoming a contested statistic. If this is impacting your relationship, reach out to Thriveworks Salem for infidelity help.
Infidelity comes from a number of different sources. It’s important to remember that infidelity itself is not the cause but rather more the effect. In order for someone to cheat on their spouse or partner, there are usually some underlying causes beforehand:
These basic two factors pretty much cover most of it. Dissatisfaction with each other; boredom; lack of “spark”. The couple might still truly love each other—that’s often true, in fact, but something is missing somewhere and instead of trying to work out what that is, somebody in the relationship tries to seek it elsewhere.
Perhaps the best way to deal with adultery and infidelity is with an adultery/infidelity counselor. The feelings that arise from infidelity can be devastating and at their worst can cause extreme anger, despair, depression, and even violence.
