When Infidelity Leads to Divorce

We can help guide you....today.

Sometimes infidelity may be too difficult to overcome. Couples may
mutually decide to divorce, but if they have children or assets that
they share, it will be in everyone’s best interests to come to terms
with the emotional toll of – not only the breach of trust – but the
marital problems that contributed to the affair.

If either you or your partner feels that the connection between you
has been broken or that you’re out of alignment with values, aspirations
and intentions, it may make sense to end your relationship. If that’s
the case, infidelity therapy in NYC or CT may help you process the emotional aspects of the affair, and
allow you to separate in a way that supports each other and your
children.

If you are struggling in your intimate relationships, you are not
alone. Relationship problems are extremely common. Many people never
resolved conflicts in their family of origin. If you want your next
relationship to be successful, it’s important to identify and address
your personal triggers and allow yourself to heal from past hurts. Left
unaddressed, these problems are likely to continue to arise in your
relationships. By addressing the thoughts, feelings and circumstances
that contributed to the affair, you may find it possible to heal the
wounds of betrayal, leaving you open to create intimate connections in
the future that will offer you security and satisfaction.
