Online Therapy for Infidelity

Infidelity in a relationship can be an overwhelming experience dealing with feelings of shock, betrayal, a sense of loss and distrust. Emotions and tensions run high, on both sides, and it can be hard to know what to do next. Here at 7 Cups, we offer online therapy for those who have experienced infidelity and need someone to turn to.

Why Did This Happen?

When infidelity occurs, it can be a symptom of a broken relationship. The signs may have been present before, but a betrayal of trust at this level can be difficult to deal with. It can be tough to decide where to go next. The biggest question is usually whether either person wants to continue to be in the relationship. Sometimes, it takes therapy to get to the answer to this difficult question. If each partner decides that they want to fix their relationship, the next big question is, “Where do we go from here?” Typically, it's hard to answer this question on your own, but a therapist can help.

How Therapy Can Help

When infidelity happens, there's usually a lot of blame on the “cheater.” But while that person's transgression is usually considered to be the worst, it's important to talk through both partner's feelings and be as objective as possible about them. This can be nearly impossible to do when the betrayed partner is dealing with their sadness and anger about what happened. A therapist can provide a neutral third perspective to help mediate communication so that each party can understand each other and eventually heal.
