Description
Do couples ever really recover from infidelity? If so, what exactly do therapists have to offer them? What concepts can make our interventions deeper and longer-lasting? Which couples are unlikely to reconcile regardless of our sincere efforts? This workshop challenges common clinical ideas, covering topics including:
- Why are affairs so common? (Hint: it’s not because all men are pigs)
- The typical belief that the betrayed acquires power as a result of being betrayed
- How much is sex an issue in most affairs? What can be done about desire discrepancies?
- Under what conditions should couples reconcile after an affair?
- What does forgiveness actually mean?
- How can we get couples to reconcile as partners rather than as adversaries?
- “That’s not infidelity, it’s just internet talk!”
- How relationships can thrive when one partner uses pornography
- Drawing and maintaining boundaries around the wounded relationship
- The existential issues confronting both parties when there’s been an affair—and why it’s crucial to address these
Participants will learn fresh new ways of looking at affairs, fidelity, and sexuality--so that they better evaluate patients, sort out individual and relationship issues, and help people heal from the experiences of powerlessness, grief, rage, and damaged self-esteem that are common on both sides of betrayal.
