Choosing to heal from an affair can feel controversial.
Making the choice to heal from an affair can be difficult. Unfortunately in today's quick-to-judge society, we are inundated with negative messages about how to respond to infidelity.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Have some self respect, dump them.
How could you ever trust someone like "that" again.
It's no wonder with such generalized and impulsive statements like these, the divorce rate is sky-rocketing. One quick google search will show, there are very little supportive resources for those who would like to repair from an affair.
All hope is not lost, though. Believe it or not, according to podcast creators and leading affair experts, Brad and Morgan Robinson, about 72% of couples make the choice to work on their relationship after an affair. Unfortunately, due to stigma, many of those couples are just not talking about it.
At Cycles Couples Counseling, we are here to help you find the courage to recommit to your relationship and begin the process to heal from an affair. Actually over half of our caseload is doing just that!
You're not alone. Counseling can help. Let's do something different!
