An affair sends marriages to the therapist’s emergency room-like a couple involved in a car crash, driver and passenger arrive with injuries. If you have come to this site, likely you or someone you love has been rocked by an affair.

If you have been betrayed, know that the information is registered in some of the same neurological pathways as physical pain and may be felt in the body, not just emotions. Your pain is perceived as a very real threat to being.

If you are the person who was involved in the affair, you may be mourning the loss of the affair and unsure what to do to repair the damage. Your conflicting feelings are normal. Either way, for both individuals, the experience can be overwhelming.
