Description
Affairs in the Therapy Room: Practical Skills and Strategies
A live webinar for therapists supporting couples in the wake of infidelity
Working with affairs can be one of the most challenging aspects of couples therapy. Therapists often feel uncertain about how to navigate the strong emotions, ruptured trust, and complex dynamics that affairs bring into the room.
This 2-hour CPD webinar offers you practical, applicable skills to confidently work with couples in the aftermath of an affair. We will explore varied presentations that may emerge following discovery, from crisis and confrontation to silence and withdrawal.
The training will integrate both differentiation-based and systemic approaches, helping you support couples in moving beyond entrenched patterns. We will also consider affairs as a potential developmental stuck point in the relationship, offering strategies to facilitate growth and repair where possible.
By the end of the session, you will leave with clear interventions, grounded frameworks, and increased confidence in guiding couples through one of the most difficult relational challenges.
What You’ll Gain:
- Clear interventions for working with couples post-affair
- Confidence to hold strong emotional responses in the room
- A systemic and developmental lens for understanding affairs
- Practical tools for assessment, safety, and structure
- Strategies to support repair, growth, and clarity for both partners
Whether you’re new to this area or looking to refine your approach, this webinar will give you real skills you can apply immediately, and insight that stays with you.
