Heal from Infidelity (or other betrayals) with
Emotionally Focused Therapy

We'll get real right from the start
 

In our first sessions, we’ll talk about the event or experience that caused the deep hurt. For example, this might be an instance of infidelity, feeling abandoned during a crisis, or another breach of trust that left one partner feeling unsupported or unsafe.

You’ll each have a chance to share your perspective, and we’ll focus on helping the injured partner express the emotional impact of the event—what it felt like, why it hurts, and how it affects their sense of safety in the relationship.

We need to ensure our sessions feel safe for both of you, because without that foundation, our work won’t succeed

Before diving deeper, we’ll work on creating a safe and supportive space. I’ll help you both regulate intense emotions so that we can explore this sensitive topic constructively.

For the injured partner, this means having the freedom to express pain without fear of being dismissed. For the partner who caused the injury, this means creating space to listen and begin to respond with understanding, rather than defensiveness.

Then we'll explore what each of you are thinking and feeling 

 

This step is about getting to the heart of what’s really happening emotionally for both of you.

For the injured partner, we’ll explore the deep feelings behind the hurt, such as fear, sadness, or anger, and connect them to unmet needs (e.g., feeling safe, valued, or loved). For the partner who caused the injury, we’ll work on understanding their emotions—guilt, shame, or even fear—and help them see the injury from their partner’s perspective.

Through this process, we’ll uncover the attachment needs driving the pain, like a desire for reassurance, comfort, or closeness.

Next, the person who was injured will have the chance to truly be seen and heard in their hurt

The next step involves helping the partner who caused the injury respond with genuine empathy. This is where healing begins.

The injured partner will describe what they need to feel understood, such as having their emotions validated or hearing their partner acknowledge the depth of the hurt.

The partner who caused the injury will practice active listening, reflecting back what they’ve heard, and offering responses that show emotional attunement.

This isn’t about fixing things right away but about creating a sense of "You see me. You get it."

I'll guide the offending partner to offer an apology that works

 

We’ll work on crafting an apology that feels meaningful and healing for the injured partner. This isn’t a quick “I’m sorry,” but a deep acknowledgment of the hurt caused, the emotional impact, and a genuine commitment to change.

We’ll practice what this looks like in session—so both partners feel the sincerity and weight behind the apology.

Then we'll begin building your new, stronger relationship

 

In this stage, we focus on action. The partner who caused the injury will show through consistent behaviors that they are trustworthy and committed to the relationship. For the injured partner, we’ll explore what they need to feel safe again. This might include clear boundaries, reassurance, or simply seeing small daily efforts that show care.

Together, we’ll create new, positive patterns of interaction to replace old cycles of hurt and defensiveness.

This injury will become part of a new narrative

 

Finally, we’ll work to reframe the injury—not as the defining moment of your relationship but as something you’ve faced and grown stronger from together. This doesn’t erase the pain but helps transform it into a story of resilience: "We went through something difficult, and we came out stronger, more connected, and more understanding of each other."

My role is to guide you through this process with compassion, helping you navigate the pain and rediscover the connection and security that brought you together in the first place. Healing is possible—and I’m here to help you take the first steps.

An attachment injury can feel overwhelming, but it’s not the end. It’s an opportunity to rebuild trust and strengthen your bond

in ways you may never have imagined.
