Understand The Infidelity
Heal The Trauma
Restore Trust
Betrayed. Confused. Lost.
When your partner has been unfaithful, it feels like the ground has shifted beneath you. You might find yourself questioning everything: your worth, your future, and even your reality. It’s not just about the betrayal—it’s about the deep scars it leaves, the trust that’s been shattered, and the overwhelming emotions that follow.
You don’t have to navigate this pain alone.
At The Relationship Therapy Centre, we’re here to guide you through affair recovery and help you figure out the next steps to take in the relationship—whether you work towards being together or apart.
The pain of infidelity can feel like:
- "I feel like I’m not enough—why did they seek someone else?"
- "I don’t know if I can ever trust them again."
- "I’m so angry and hurt, but I don’t know how to let it go."
- "I keep replaying the lies in my head—I can’t stop."
- "I feel like I’ve lost the relationship I thought we had."
- "I’m embarrassed that this happened to me—what will people think?"
- "How do I know if I should stay or leave?"
- "I want to move forward, but I don’t know how to rebuild trust."
We offer therapy for infidelity in Mississauga and virtually across Ontario. You have the strength within you to navigate this, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.

How Our Infidelity Therapy Works
At Relationship Therapy Centre, we understand that infidelity can break trust, leaving you feeling hurt, confused, and unsure about the future. The emotional pain can be overwhelming as you try to decide whether to rebuild your relationship or move on.
Our approach to infidelity therapy is here to support you through this difficult time, offering a safe and caring space to work through your feelings, rebuild trust, and find the best way forward.
We use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) to help you heal, regain clarity, and rebuild a stronger foundation for your future, whether together or apart.
1st Session: Meet Together
We know it’s tempting to dive right into discussing the infidelity, but we start by getting to know both of you as individuals. We’ll explore what brought you together and what led you to seek therapy now. Whether you’re focused on healing from the infidelity or figuring out the next steps, we’ll work together to set clear goals for your therapy.
2 Sessions: Meet Individually
Next, we’ll meet with each of you individually. We’ll look at your past experiences and how they’ve shaped your view of relationships. We’ll also talk about how the infidelity was discovered, how you’ve dealt with it so far, and how it’s affected both of you. This step helps us understand what you need moving forward.
Continued Sessions: Meet Together
Finally, we’ll bring you both back together to have open, productive conversations about your relationship, the infidelity, and what comes next. We aim to create a balance of accountability and compassion, helping you rebuild trust in each other and within yourselves.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What if one partner is not willing to go to therapy?
It’s common for partners to feel differently about therapy. If one partner doesn’t want to go, the other can still benefit from individual therapy. In these sessions, you can explore your relationship’s history, the infidelity, and its effects. You’ll also work through your emotions, understand relationship patterns, and develop strategies to manage the situation.
Individual therapy can also help you find ways to talk to your partner about therapy or encourage changes in the relationship.
How is trust rebuilt after infidelity?
Rebuilding trust after infidelity takes time and depends on your unique situation. It requires open, honest communication and a willingness to be vulnerable. Both partners need to share their thoughts and feelings about the relationship and the infidelity.
A therapist can guide you through this process, helping you rebuild trust with patience and compassion. The betrayed partner will be supported in expressing their feelings, while the partner who was unfaithful will be encouraged to take responsibility and show understanding.
Is it important to understand the details of the infidelity in order to move forward?
Many people want to know the details after discovering infidelity, but whether to share these details should be carefully considered. For some couples, sharing helps with healing; for others, it may cause more pain.
In therapy, your therapist can help you decide if sharing details is the right choice. You’ll discuss the potential benefits and risks and work out how to handle the information if it’s shared.
Our approach to infidelity therapy is tailored to your comfort level and needs, with the goal of promoting healing, clarity, and trust.
Should we go to therapy for infidelity if I am unclear whether I want to continue in this relationship?
Therapy can be helpful after infidelity, whether or not you decide to stay together. Infidelity can bring up confusing and difficult feelings, and it’s tough to sort through them alone.
A therapist can help you better understand your hopes and fears, explore the underlying issues in your relationship, and guide you through the decision-making process. Therapy provides valuable support during this challenging time, helping you make the best decision for yourself.
How long does it take to heal from infidelity?
Healing from infidelity takes time and varies depending on factors like the state of your relationship before the infidelity, how committed both partners are to rebuilding trust, and how the infidelity was discovered.
Typically, healing and rebuilding trust require regular therapy sessions and effort outside of therapy, too. A therapist can help you through this process by guiding your conversations, ensuring emotional safety, and offering tools to rebuild trust and improve communication.
What Can You Expect From Infidelity Therapy:
- Relief from constant intrusive thoughts and the need to know every detail.
- A renewed sense of safety in your relationship and trust in your partner.
- The ability to keep some distance without always expecting the worst.
- The ability to talk about the betrayal calmly, without getting overly emotional or defensive.
- The chance to create the kind of relationship and love story you really want.
- Gain clarity on how you can move forward independently or together.
