In this episode, we invited, Aviva Rizel, LMFT, EFT Supervisor, who will be guiding us on such hot and complicated topic, How to Heal After an Affair? Infidelities have become more and more prevalent as we have witnessed it on social media, ranging from politicians, actors, sports figures, and even our neighbors.
It is estimated that 20% to 40% of couples in America experience extra-marital affairs which in some cases could be detrimental to the individual and the couple; however, infidelities do not necessarily have to be the end of relationships. We invite you to think that by allowing infidelities end relationships, we are giving infidelities the power over your relationships. With this reflection, here are the main points of our discussion with Aviva Rizel, LMFT:
Definition of affairs
Rules of marriages
The effects of affairs
Emotional (connection vs. disconnection) and Physical Affairs
Emotional needs (I exist, I'm safe, I matter, I'm worthed, I'm loved, respected, I'm the chosen one)
Final Recommendations.
