Restore Self-Worth, Hope And Connection.
Restore Self-Worth, Hope And Connection.Learning about a partner’s infidelity can be emotionally and physically devastating. Working with a certified therapist for affair recovery in California can help both partners to heal and move forward. When trust and safety are broken through infidelity, the reaction is manifested in characteristics aligned with PTSD; namely depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the event. Some mental health professionals have labeled it Post-Infidelity Stress Disorder (PISD), for the stress and emotional turmoil experienced afterward.PISD follows much of the same emotional pattern as PTSD. The betrayed partner will often have recurring thoughts of their partner with another. They might also replay past benign events, searching for clues of infidelity. Like PTSD, those in affair recovery in California may suffer from rage or despair after the initial shock of discovering the infidelity, followed by a state of emotional hollowness. Those in recovery may withdraw from friends or family, and lose interest in formerly enjoyable activities.Those suffering from PISD may also have erratic sleep patterns, have difficulty concentrating, and overall have their work performance and family life severely affected. Partners may feel hopeless and suffer from anxiety, which makes it difficult to regulate emotions. This can impair problem-solving abilities, creating further feelings of loneliness and fear.
The Addo Recovery Process.
At our California facility, affair recovery begins with an assessment to identify the depth and breadth of the trauma. Our certified therapists work with both partners to understand the situation and establish open communication.
Using these assessments, our therapists will develop additional qualitative understanding, facilitating the development of a personalized recovery plan. We use a number of therapeutic techniques, which can include individual therapy, group therapy, EMDR therapy, couples therapy, yoga therapy and/or mindfulness.
Once we create a personalized plan, we match each individual or couple with a therapist that is the best fit for their needs. The success of affair recovery in California is determined by matching a therapist with the right specialization and personality for each case.
The journey of recovery is an often-lengthy process that requires work from both parties. It requires personal recovery, marriage recovering, and a rebuilding of trust, if the couple is interested in staying together. In addition to affair recovery, our therapists are available for Sexual Addiction Recovery and Betrayal Trauma Therapy.
