HOW TO HEAL AND MOVE PAST INFIDELITY

Getting over infidelities takes both partners’ time, commitment, willingness, and effort. I recommend these practical and effective tips when looking to heal and move from past infidelities in your relationship;

As the partner on the wrong side, cut all contacts with the person you had an affair with. Be open to your partner by disclosing all your phone accounts, showing gratitude and remorse for your acts, and apologizing as you explain the trigger or motives for your actions. Remind yourself the reason you feel in love with your partner, show compassion and be honest about how you feel about your lover.

As the betrayed partner, take time to recover or heal enhance self-compassion and gratitude. You can try to figure out the motives of the infidelity from your side or engage your partner in deep conversations o why they did it. Seek help from close friends or therapists to guide you through the recovery period. Be lenient in your final decisions. Ask yourself if you need to be in the relationship.

Suppose you are ready to stay with your partner set up new measures to rekindle your love. Forgive each other, find new ways to satisfy each other’s needs, especially what triggered the infidelity, spend more time together, attend to therapies as a couple and commit to being honest or trustful in the relationship.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
