Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity, Treating Generational Trauma & Exploring Somatic Healing With Psychologist Dr. Sarah Schewitz

Listen Later

Infidelity is often a black-and-white situation, especially in the social media discourse. I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Schewitz, a psychologist specializing in couples therapy, to talk about the gray area and what it’s like to rebuild trust in a relationship after betrayal. 

Dr. Sarah breaks down the steps to get back to a place of vulnerability and intimacy, and shares her top strategies for dealing with resentment. We discuss the factors that tend to support a couple’s success after infidelity and advice for anyone who is supporting a loved one through a tumultuous time in their relationship. We also touch on generational trauma and ways to treat unhealthy attachment styles. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Dr. Sarah’s thoughts on the ‘once a cheater, always a cheater’ trope 
  • Signs that a betrayed partner is healing 
  • Creating boundaries around your safety 
  • What to do in a relationship if one of the individuals has experienced infidelity in the past 
  • The efficacy of somatic therapy and EMDR techniques 
  • Why it’s so important to be selective about what details you share with others about your relationship
