Affair recovery in therapy focuses on rebuilding trust, processing emotions, and fostering open communication between partners. The process typically includes:

1. Acknowledgment & Transparency – The unfaithful partner takes responsibility for their actions while both partners openly express their emotions and concerns.

2. Understanding the Affair – Therapists help explore underlying issues that contributed to the affair, such as unmet needs, communication breakdowns, or personal struggles.

3. Emotional Healing – Both partners work through feelings of betrayal, anger, guilt, and sadness in a safe, guided space.

4. Rebuilding Trust – Couples establish new boundaries, commitments, and behaviors that reinforce trust and emotional security.

5. Strengthening the Relationship – Therapists guide couples in improving communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution skills to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship moving forward.

   
   

Recovery takes time and effort from both partners, but with commitment and professional support, many couples can heal and rebuild a healthier connection.
