This is a description.

The revelation of an affair can cause a crisis of trust and connection in a relationship. We will look at the benefits and costs of truth-telling and transparency, how couples can rebuild trust and intimacy, and how affairs can actually stabilizing a marriage and prevent its dissolution. The crisis can be turned into an opportunity by couples. We will lay out a nuanced and multicultural therapeutic approach for working with extramarital relations, fantasized or real, disclosed or shrouded in secrecy.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Analyze three motivations and meanings behind affairs and ways to integrate them back into the relationship.
2. Identify 5 assumptions, values and personal experiences that influence our therapeutic work with Affairs.

Session may be edited to preserve confidentiality.
