Mending Broken Hearts: A Therapist's Guide to Post Infidelity Repair

Infidelity is an issue that's both complex and thorny. It can be painful to navigate and hard to resolve. Without resolution, couples may break up, or remain together, frozen in a pattern of blame, recrimination, and anger marked by deep unhappiness and disconnection. Mending Broken Hearts provides therapists with a comprehensive roadmap for treating infidelity so that partners can reconnect and engage in repair, while at the same time resolving deeper issues that may have contributed to causing the infidelity. Drawing on research, Relational Life Therapy, and the author's own work, Mending Broken Hearts provides a step-by-step treatment plan and specific skills for therapists. With these tools, the therapist will help couples to not only recover from infidelity, but transform their relationship into one that's more relational, more connected, and more satisfying. The end goal is a relationship grounded in intimacy and safety.
