Infidelity & Betrayal
Healing After Infidelity and Betrayal
Infidelity and betrayal can feel deeply destabilizing. The relationship you trusted may suddenly feel unfamiliar or unsafe. You may feel shocked, angry, heartbroken, confused, or unsure what to believe. Even when time has passed, the impact of betrayal can linger in ways that are hard to put into words.
You may be here because something important was broken and you are trying to understand what comes next. You may be hoping to repair the relationship, or you may be considering separation and want to move forward with care and clarity. Wherever you are, your experience deserves to be met with respect and support.
When Trust Is Broken
From an attachment perspective, infidelity and betrayal create what is known as an attachment injury, a rupture in emotional safety that can shake your sense of security and trust. You may notice heightened emotions, intrusive thoughts, distance, or a constant sense of uncertainty. It can become hard to relax, feel close, or trust yourself again.
These responses are not signs of weakness. They are natural reactions to a deep relational injury.
Our Approach to Healing
Our work is rooted in attachment and guided by Emotionally Focused Therapy. We use the Attachment Injury Repair Model, a structured and compassionate process designed to help people make sense of what happened, address the emotional impact of betrayal, and support healing in a way that feels steady and intentional.
There is no pressure toward a specific outcome. Our role is to support healing, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or separating with care and integrity.
For Couples
For couples who are open to exploring repair, we help slow things down so healing can begin. Using the Attachment Injury Repair Model, we support conversations that allow for accountability, emotional understanding, and the rebuilding of trust over time. This process helps partners understand the impact of the betrayal, express what is needed for safety, and explore whether and how the relationship can move forward.
For couples who decide not to reconcile, we also offer support. Separation or divorce after betrayal can be handled thoughtfully, with attention to communication, dignity, and emotional care. We help couples navigate this transition in ways that reduce unnecessary harm and support a healthier path forward, especially when ongoing connection or coparenting is involved.
For Individuals
If you are navigating infidelity or betrayal on your own, we offer a supportive space to process the pain and regain a sense of steadiness. Individual therapy can help you make sense of what happened, rebuild trust within yourself, and clarify what you need moving forward.
Whether you are healing after being betrayed or working through the impact of having betrayed a partner, we approach this work without judgment. The focus is on emotional understanding, accountability where appropriate, and helping you move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
What Becomes Possible
With support, the intensity of pain can soften. You may begin to feel more grounded, clearer about your needs, and more connected to yourself. Some relationships are able to heal and rebuild trust in deeper, more honest ways. Others find healing through separation that honors what mattered and supports a healthier future.
There is no single right outcome. What matters is that healing is supported.
Moving Forward
If you are navigating infidelity or betrayal, you do not have to do it alone. Support can help you move through this experience with compassion, clarity, and care..
