how i can help
Affair recovery therapy can help you heal and repair your relationship.
Jeana Wescott, LMFT, is extensively trained at The Gottman Institute using The Gottman Method Couples Therapy to treat affairs using the Trust Revival Method. She is integrates advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) to work with couples to repair attachment injuries from affair betrayal.
In affair recovery in Minneapolis, both partners need therapeutic support and an understanding of the traumatic impact of the betrayal on the relationship. The hurt partner may be experiencing post-traumatic symptoms (hyper-vigilance, intrusive images of the affair, numbing, emotional explosions, and sleep disturbance) from the betrayal. The involved partner may be experiencing grief, ambivalent feelings, shame, and guilt.
Starting therapy helps facilitate the difficult conversation, so you both can be heard and begin rebuilding trust in a safe space for both partners to express their emotions.
Through affair recovery and couples therapy, we will work to find healing and repair your relationship after infidelity.
imagine if you…
Make amends and repair the betrayal.
Atonement can be challenging and humbling, and repairing the damage from betrayal in the relationship and restoring trust is necessary. Having a therapeutic space to balance the questions and the much-needed dialogue about infidelity can be a safe place for active listening, understanding betrayal trauma, and healing.
Could rebuild trust in your relationship.
Trust is essential in a marriage or committed relationship and takes time to build. It is possible. Your relationship can't go back to how it was before the betrayal. You are now building a new relationship, building new foundations of trust, reconnecting, and equipping yourselves with new ways of communicating to create the love you want. We are building the marriage post-affair and want it to be better than before the infidelity happened.
Felt secure and connected to one another.
For trust to develop and continue in the relationship, it is crucial to securely attach, move beyond the hurt, and use honest communication. Building the relationship foundations of closer connection and appreciation and reducing the triggers and trauma from the affair will decrease hurt and pain, trust will thrive, and emotional and physical intimacy will grow.
I want you to know:
Healing is possible.
