The Importance of Finding The Right Therapist Post Affair Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Your relationship, what you do with it and how you look after it should never be taken lightly. This is especially true after discovering infidelity and when choosing the right therapist is critical. Finding a therapist who is knowledgeable about infidelity, who is a good fit for you and who believes in what you want to achieve through the therapeutic process is critical. David Feder says that " an important predictor of a positive outcome in therapy is the fit between the therapist and the client and to this end clients should interview a therapist before beginning therapy."

In this episode of BEYOND INFIDELITY David talks about:

Why it is important to find the right therapist?
Asking the therapist about their experience in treating infidelity?
Asking whether the therapist has personal been impacted by an affair and how their experience may affect treatment?
Whether it is OK to ask the therapist about the model they use to treat infidelity? and
Asking the therapist about what they consider to be a good outcome of therapy?

Your Partners Affair is Not Your Fault Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

Your spouse or partner had or is having an affair and your reaction is a cocktail of emotions that probably includes a combination of shock, rage, disbelief, anger, sadness and fear. However, you might also be blaming yourself. Logically, you know that you can't be responsible for a choice you did not make but emotionally you believe that somehow it was your fault. Instead of sending yourself good messages, your mantra is now, "I must not have been enough" and "if I would only have…". You become powerless and a victim. This podcast is about taking back your power. This podcast is about getting unstuck and not being a victim. This podcast is about taking back control of your life so you can heal and move on.
