In-Person Therapy In Manhattan, NYC
Online Therapy For New York, New Jersey & Florida

You’ve experienced a relationship injury that has caused you to mistrust your partner and question the future of your relationship.

This injury may be the result of infidelity, but it could also stem from other forms of betrayal, such as being left alone during a critical time or discovering a significant truth your partner hid from you.

You feel shock, disbelief, grief, loss, anger, anxiety, resentment, or even shame and humiliation. These overwhelming feelings seem out of control.

You and your partner are stuck in a vicious cycle of conflict and fight/flight/freeze responses.

Every day, you wake up and face the fact that your relationship isn’t what you thought it was. You ruminate over your next steps, wondering if this pain will ever end.
