You’ve experienced a relationship injury that caused you to mistrust your partner and question the relationship.
The injury could be an affair/infidelity, but it could also be another event where you felt betrayed (e.g., being left alone by your partner when you needed them the most) or lied to (e.g., finding out something crucial about your partner that they did not tell you about).
You feel shock, disbelief, grief, loss, anger, anxiety, resentment, or even shame and humiliation. These feelings are overwhelming and seem out of control.
You and your partner find yourselves stuck in a vicious cycle of conflict and fight/flight/freeze response.
Everyday you wake up and have to face the fact your relationship isn’t what you thought it was, and you ruminate on what your next action should be. It feels like this pain will never stop.
Being stuck in this cycle is taking it’s toll on you. How could it not? What’s at stake is your relationship, the person you care for the most.
At Touchstone Psychology, we specialize in using Emotionally Focused Therapy that provides a safe space for you to share your story and to make sense of it together. EFT fosters open communication and empathy, making sure that both of you feel heard and understood.
From the place of openness and honesty you can then make your decisions whether healing and reconciliation are possible or whether you and your partner should explore a path of separation.
Through the specialty of our therapists, we help you avoid getting stuck in the same old negative cycles that block you from moving forward.
We’re not just to apply a bandaid, but also address the underlying reasons for why the betrayal happened in the first place, so you can feel safe with each other again.
Recovering from relationship injuries takes time and patience but can be possible. This process can help make you and your relationship strong and resilient again.
