Overview

The moment a betrayal is revealed your world shatters. Your stomach drops, rage and despair collide in an instant, and the person you trusted most suddenly feels like a stranger. If you're reeling from infidelity, you're not alone - and healing is possible. In ""Infidelity: A Survival Guide - Insights from a Relationship Therapist,"" Rhys Lewis, a seasoned therapist with years of experience helping thousands of couples navigate betrayal, offers a compassionate, practical roadmap for infidelity recovery. Drawing from evidence-based strategies, this affair survival guide cuts through the chaos, providing relationship therapy after cheating that's accessible to all. Whether you're the betrayed partner grappling with shock or the unfaithful one seeking redemption, this book empowers you with betrayal healing tools to reclaim your life. Who is this for? Primarily those who've been betrayed and need to regain control, but also unfaithful partners wanting to support recovery, couples deciding whether to stay or leave, those haunted by past affairs, and even supporters advising loved ones. The Author addresses the raw realities: from suspecting infidelity to splitting up, and everything in between. Backed by eye-opening statistics (20-25% of married couples in the US and 18-20% in the UK experience infidelity, with even higher rates in dating relationships) the Author reveals a hopeful truth: 60-75% of couples stay together after an affair, often emerging stronger through targeted relationship therapy after cheating. Structured in four essential parts mirroring the Author's clinical approach in his successful relationship therapy practice, the book guides you step by step: Revelation: Explore how the infidelity was uncovered - discovery versus disclosure - and its impact on trust. Behaviours and Responses: Understand the emotional journeys, mindsets of victims (now survivors) and perpetrators (potential redeemers), common signs, deception tactics, and reactions like damage limitation, monitoring or defensiveness. Understanding Why: Delve into reasons without excuses - personality traits, relationship stages, attachment issues, Dark Triad personalities, and concepts like the Priority Stack or Core Negative Images - to break free from endless ""why me?"" cycles. Recovery and Decisions: Practical advice for navigating the first days and weeks, making the big choice (including doing it for the kids), stabilization, coping with triggers and intrusive thoughts, learning forgiveness, rebuilding trust after infidelity, and fostering growth - or separating with dignity. Packed with key insights from the Author's clinical practice, including survivor challenges for painful insights and triggers, redeemer strategies to help partners, and exercises to shorten emotional storms, this guide transforms pain into clarity. You'll learn to navigate love versus sex affairs, emotional versus sexual infidelity, and who to tell, all while regaining control and making informed decisions. Whether you rebuild a more honest partnership or walk away without bitterness, this book promises betrayal healing that leads to stronger relationships or a dignified fresh start. Take the first step toward peace and hope - start your infidelity recovery today.
