Beyond the Affair: Restoring Trust and Rebuilding Relationships

In this talk Dr Kalanit Ben-Ari addresses the delicate and intricate work required to mend the bonds of trust shattered by infidelity. Over the course of an hour, we aim to arm therapists and relationship counselors with the deep understanding and empathetic approaches necessary for guiding couples through the stormy aftermath of an affair.

We delve into the nuanced process of fostering a safe environment where both partners can openly share their pain and vulnerability. Recognising the immense challenge this represents, our focus is on equipping professionals with the skills to facilitate these challenging conversations, ensuring they are conducted with sensitivity, understanding, and a clear direction towards healing.

Participants will gain insights into:

The Foundations of Rebuilding Trust: Understanding the multifaceted nature of trust and the steps required to rebuild it from the ground up. Navigating Difficult Conversations: Techniques for managing emotionally charged discussions and transforming them into opportunities for growth and understanding. Holding onto Hope: Strategies for instilling hope in couples, demonstrating that recovery is not only possible but can lead to a deeper, more meaningful connection. Fostering Forgiveness and Healing: Guidance on encouraging forgiveness and facilitating the healing process, emphasising the importance of patience and time. Reconnecting and Rebuilding: Practical advice for helping couples rediscover their bond, establish new relationship norms, and build a future that honours both their individual needs and their partnership.

This session is about guiding couples to move towards each other with a renewed sense of purpose, compassion, and love, crafting a relationship that is not only healed but thriving. Therapists and counselors will leave this talk with a toolkit for supporting their clients in turning one of the most challenging experiences of their lives into a powerful catalyst for growth and renewal.
