Surviving Infidelity: Healing the Heart and the Relationship
Published October 18, 2023
Life presents us with unexpected challenges, and one of the most difficult can be discovering infidelity in a relationship we thought was perfect. When the world is rocked, when the pain and confusion are unbearable, how do we move forward? As a holistic psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I know that overcoming infidelity involves a journey of self-discovery and deep healing.
The Impact of Infidelity: Finding out that your spouse has been unfaithful can be devastating. At this time, it is essential to recognize that your emotions are valid. Confusion, hurt, anger and fear are normal reactions. Infidelity not only hurts your trust in the relationship, it also affects your self-esteem and awakens deep emotional wounds.
Setting Boundaries and Rebuilding Self-Esteem: It is common in the emotional turmoil following infidelity to find it difficult to set clear boundaries. However, setting boundaries is essential to your well-being and that of the relationship. Reflect on what you need and communicate your expectations. Work on your self-esteem, because you deserve a relationship that makes you feel valued and respected.
Healing Emotional Wounds: Infidelity can unearth deep emotional wounds, whether from past experiences or personal insecurities. Exploring these wounds in therapy can help you understand why certain behaviors affect you so much and provide you with the tools you need to heal.
**The Road to Recovery: **Having the right support is critical. Consider couples therapy if you are both willing to work on the relationship. But, remember that individual therapy can also be valuable in addressing your own feelings and concerns.
To make clear and healthy decisions, I invite you to explore the following questions:
what does forgiveness mean to you? Is it possible to forgive your husband for what has happened?
How would you describe your ideal relationship? Is it similar to your current relationship or are there significant differences?
What are your emotional needs and how are they being met in this relationship?
What role does love play in your life and in your relationship? Is love enough to get you through this situation?
How do you feel about yourself in this relationship? Do you feel valued and respected?
What prevents you from making clear decisions in this situation? Is it fear, uncertainty or other emotions?
What values are most important to you in a couple's relationship? How do they align with what is currently happening?
Have you considered what you would like your life to be like if you were not in this relationship? What would your goals and desires be?
What emotional support do you need right now, and where can you find it?
What actions can you take to take care of your emotional well-being, regardless of your relationship decision?
