Infidelity Recovery

Infidelity Recovery Counseling in Dallas

After an affair, both people need something they cannot give each other yet. Structure helps.

Who This Is For

Some of what we hear

  • An affair, an emotional relationship or a long pattern of secrecy has come to light.
  • One of you needs answers and the other does not know how much to say.
  • You have not decided whether the marriage continues, and you want help deciding well.
  • You have decided to stay and you do not know how to rebuild trust.

The Work

How this goes

Stabilize first

Before anything can be rebuilt, the bleeding stops: contact with the third party ends, and we set ground rules for how questions get asked and answered at home.

Understand what happened

Not to excuse it. To make sense of it. Couples who understand how the affair became possible are in a far better position to decide what comes next.

Rebuild or part well

Some couples rebuild a stronger marriage than they had. Some decide to separate. Both outcomes are handled here with honesty and without pressure in either direction.

This work is slower than other counseling and it is often the most important work a couple ever does together.
