“Some of the biggest pain around infidelity is how we allow it to make us feel about ourselves. And we usually end up feeling things like our own sense of unworthiness rise to the surface, and we make it about us as though we're inadequate or not enough. We agonize over what the other person had that we don't. And we focus on this deep sense of lack within ourselves that we can experience.”
This episode has been a long time coming. In nearly 300 episodes I’ve never actually touched on recovering from infidelity, even though supporting people through recovering from infidelity is one of the areas I specialize in. So this is a big one, and a very important one coming at you today.
We’re going to talk all about:
- What infidelity actually means and how it can vary with each person
- Going to go through some of the various and specific steps that I both recommend and that I have done myself, and that I work with clients around in order to navigate and move through dealing with infidelity
- Some of the really crucial components that will determine how you look at the world on the other side of infidelity
- Re-writing your story to create a deeper sense of meaning and purpose from it
- Deciding whether to stay or go
- And much more
