Why Affairs & Infidelity in Couples Therapy Is So Complex
Working with affairs & infidelity in couples therapy is often one of the most emotionally intense challenges therapists face. It’s no surprise that this is one of the most requested topics in couples training.
In the aftermath of an affair, couples arrive in crisis — traumatised, ashamed, hurt, angry, and unsure of what comes next. Some are reeling from a one-off betrayal; others are caught in patterns of repeated secrecy and hurt.
Often, partners are trying to decide:
- Should we tell the children?
- Should we keep living together?
- Can we even come back from this?
One partner may feel trapped by financial or family responsibilities. The other may feel a deep fear of losing everything. No two cases of infidelity are the same — and as therapists, we need tools to work with this complexity early on.
What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
In this 2-hour CPD training, Nancy St John will guide you through:
- Crisis management in the immediate aftermath of infidelity
- How to assess the nature, impact, and context of the affair
- Evaluating the affair — emotional, physical, one-night or ongoing
- Understanding each partner’s response — from guilt to rage to paralysis
- Planning the early stage treatment — when, how, and what to prioritise
You’ll walk away with greater clarity, clinical confidence, and a framework to hold couples through the initial shock and chaos.
