Infidelity

A breach of the agreement about exclusivity, which destroys the foundation of predictability in a relationship.

Term

How it shows up

The pain isn’t only in the act but in the lying around it — in the fact that you thought you knew where you stood. That is why recovery doesn’t depend on the details of the event but on whether transparency can be rebuilt.

What we do with it in therapy

The work has three steps: stopping, understanding the context, and deciding about the future. Forgiving too quickly and endless questioning are equally common traps.

Write to me How therapy works
This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
