Description
"Ooops...I Had an Affair" is a practical, step-by-step guide for fixing a relationship that has been damaged by an affair, whether it was sexual, emotional, transactional, or digital. Created by a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 25+ years of experience as a couples counselor, this course offers hope that you can create a respectful, passionate, and more fulfilling connection even after you have strayed.
If you are worried that trust will never be restored, this course offers practical wisdom for staying accountable, keeping your integrity, and banishing defensiveness. If you are overwhelmed with your partner's triggers and emotions, you will learn effective methods to comfort them and manage your guilt and shame. If you want your partner to change, too, this course demonstrates basic yet effective communication strategies which can make that a reality.
This course helps you decide whether to confess your affair, the gender differences in types of affairs, and the surprising reasons why people cheat. There is even a video for your primary partner which normalizes their reactions and paves the way for forgiveness and renewal.
Through logical explanations and easy-to-follow examples, this course will improve your odds of repairing the rift in your relationship or of staying supportive friends and co-parents if the partnership ends. An affair does not have to ruin your relationship and can, instead, spur rejuvenation, increased closeness, and change.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for adults who are interested in why people have affairs and how to fix the damage to their relationship if an affair has occurred. There is also a section for the person who was deceived, and step-by-step guidelines for healing the primary relationship or parting with dignity and respect.
