Adam Nisenson, LMFT, CSAT - Navigating And Healing From Infidelity

Talking points: relationships, infidelity, betrayal

The damage from infidelity in a relationship can be complex, traumatic, and last far longer than you might think. What's more, there aren't a lot of men-specific resources out there. Fortunately Adam is changing that. If you or someone you know has experienced infidelity, strongly encourage you to share this one.

(00:05:13) - How important is it that all parties see the part they may have played, and what NOT to do

(00:15:35) - What leads a woman to have an affair, what to do when you find out, and what happens to a man’s identity when betrayed

(00:26:10) - Navigating jealousy and grief

(00:40:27) - What’s possible in the reconciliation process?

(00:43:53) - On creating safety and repair after betrayal
