Ask the Unfaithful

Episode 22: What are the 5 Stages of Change for The Unfaithful?


Listen Later

Did you know there are actual stages of change we as human beings go through before we arrive at true change? Did you also know there are stages we unfaithful partners go through both before, during and after our affair or problematic sexual behaviors? As both an unfaithful and a betrayed, it's imperative we have a knowledge of and understand these stages of change if either we or our partner are going to change and set ourselves free from addictions or behaviors that are reducing our lives to heaps of regret, shame and upheaval. Maybe like we were at one time, you too are struggling to understand how to find freedom, healing or breakthrough? Maybe you've tried to change, only to arrive at frustration, anger and even more self doubt? Or perhaps like us, you tried to change, found some momentum then seemingly out of nowhere, you lost that momentum and all you worked for came crashing down around you?

Alternatively, maybe you were finding yourself wanting to let your guard down at your partner's apparent growth, only to find that shortly after their newfound momentum, they relapsed. After our own hard fought battles, the last people to shame any unfaithful partner would be us. However, the truth is, there is a better way and there is a proven way to change ourselves and yes, there is a way to set ourselves free from what feels like massive humiliation and hopelessness. We don't have to live in constant up's and down's, constant promises to change only to never truly gain momentum.

Today you'll hear a breakdown of five stages of change for the unfaithful partner in an attempt to help both sides of infidelity or addiction find a playbook to utilize for healing and long term transformation.
