Please note: this in-person workshop has reached capacity. It will be available virtually.
Many therapists dedicate much therapy time to helping betrayed partners heal deep emotional wounds in the wake of an affair. Therapy is often lopsided in a victim–perpetrator model, dealing with the injury of the betrayal. Less attention is typically paid to helping the partners who had the affair, one-night stand, or online infidelity, especially regarding why and how it happened.
This workshop will give you a more nuanced understanding of the motivations for infidelity and present practical interventions around the underlying meaning of cheating and what it means about the relationship.
