Couples
Improving you partnership.
Couples therapy is a worthwhile step for partners to take in mending feelings of betrayal. Partner betrayal is a form of trauma that is derived from a lack of communication, infidelity and/or abusive tendencies in a relationship. The feelings of partner betrayal can take an extreme toll on couples, but this doesn’t mean that the relationship can’t be rebuilt.
It is common for someone dealing with partner betrayal to have feelings of anxiety and depression. Other repercussions may include PTSD, such as insomnia, emotional numbness, and irrational behavior. Feelings of distrust, along with the tendencies to second guess your actions are factors that one might face. While this is devastating, a couple can rebuild from betrayal. Couples therapy can help assist in the healing process; it can guide partners back to the healthy relationship they once had.
