Infidelity 

When you discover infidelity and that your partner has cheated on you, you’re initial reaction is one of shock, anger and sadness. You will likely feel betrayed and rejected. Your feelings of trust, safety and security within the relationship become greatly diminished.

In my couples counseling NJ practice, I help couples heal and grow in the wake of infidelity. I help my clients identify the underlying causes of infidelity both within the dynamic of the relationship and related to any personal issues either partner may be struggling with.

Factors Contributing To Infidelity 

Factors that make a person vulnerable to infidelity are  dysfunctional / ineffectual communication, a perceived lack of empathy, validation and affection and sexual frustration in the relationship. Eventual both parties come to feel lonely and disconnected. When both partners believe they can no longer relate to one another and engage in frequent arguments and fights, then infidelity is more likely to occur. At times when the relationship is weakened and under great stress, people are more susceptible to seek out emotional support and connection outside the relationship.

In my couples therapy NJ practice, I treat infidelity by improving communication and restoring the capacity for empathy, support and understanding. By enhancing the couple’s ability to assertively express their feelings and needs while receiving reassurance and validation, I help restore the couple’s sense of safety and attachment.
