Let's Talk About Love, Sex & Infidelity

#220 | How to Take Responsibility Without Shame When You've Cheated


Listen Later

Hi there! I'm Todd Creager, and in this powerful episode of Let’s Talk About Love, Sex and Infidelity Podcast, I address one of the most challenging aspects of healing from infidelity - how to take responsibility without drowning in shame. 

If you're someone who has betrayed your partner and is working to rebuild trust and heal your relationship, this episode is especially for you.

I dive deep into answering the five most common questions I receive from people who have been unfaithful and are genuinely trying to make things right:

  • Learn the crucial difference between showing genuine remorse and getting lost in self-destructive shame
  • Discover practical strategies for staying present with your partner's pain without becoming overwhelmed by your own emotions
  • Understand how to connect with and heal the wounded parts of yourself that contributed to the betrayal, while still taking full responsibility for your actions
  • Get specific guidance on how to actually support your partner's healing process, rather than just wishing the pain would go away

Whether you're in the early stages of discovery or further along in your healing journey, this episode provides compassionate, practical guidance for moving forward with intention and maturity. I share real examples from my clinical practice and offer concrete tools you can start using today to rebuild trust and connection.

Join me as we explore how to navigate this challenging territory with wisdom, self-compassion, and a genuine commitment to growth and healing. Together, we can make the world safer for love.

Listen now to begin your journey toward genuine healing and transformation.
