Topic : Affair Healing

A survey conducted by Peggy Vaughn found that 57% of betrayed spouses said that their therapy was mostly frustrating because the counselor focused on general marital problems instead of dealing directly with issues related to the affair. Relationship counselors will encounter the topic of infidelity and it is our responsibility to learn effective tools for helping couples navigate this painful time.  While the process can often be overwhelming, there is hope for healing.
