Why Rebuilding Trust After an Affair Doesn’t Work
Trust is not the foundation…
An Unconventional Approach to Healing and Hope
Trust is not the foundation of a good marriage. Selfhood is. Without a self, without knowing and trusting and being who you truly are, your marriage cannot heal and cannot function at its best.
After an affair, people often work tirelessly to rebuild trust. But what if their efforts are making trust less likely to emerge than more? Perhaps you’ve done everything you can to rebuild your relationship, but you still find yourself traumatized, lonely, and lost. Is there hope? Miriam Bellamy, LMFT has been working for 27 years with individuals and couples are are trying to recover from infidelity.
She has discovered that the elusive solution to rebuilding trust in a long-term relationship begins with a pause. It begins with an end. An end to all the trying, the forcing, the attempts to cajole trust into existence. Only when couples let go of what’s not working (whether the betrayed spouse or the unfaithful one), do they begin to experience the rebirth. The Bridge Back provides a guide for thinking, feeling, and moving forward out of repetitive cycles of conflict and distance into a freer and more honest relationship.
