Before they said goodbye…
Two affairs. Betrayal. Guilt. And… hope.
Josh and Kara came to couples treatment after Josh had had two extramarital affairs.
A caring person ridden with guilt, Josh confessed his infidelity to Kara. He didn’t want to give up – he hoped they could somehow rebuild their relationship on foundations that would give both of them what they wanted.
Betrayed, hurt, and overwhelmed, Kara needed more time to decide whether she could find a way to trust Josh again.
They rebuilt something better.
Over several months, we worked with Josh and Kara, using the Integral model of discover, master, emerge. They did the work of exploring what went “wrong” in their relationship.
They learned about their own – and each other’s – defenses to understand the origin of their particular sensitivities and how they experience both love and safety in different ways.
They developed the tools they needed to feel anchored together in life – so they could work on mastering the art of feeling safe with themselves and each other.
Finally, they emerged – renewed – from a shared sense of safety and reciprocity in their relationship.
Now, they’re enjoying each other – and life – again.
The work hasn’t stopped; they continue to work on building trust and intimacy every day.
The difference? Now, they feel they have the tools to make their relationship work for the long run.
And you can, too.
Communication problems, high reactivity, infidelity.
