Understanding Shame and Trauma in the Wake of Infidelity

The fourth and final mailbag episode of the summer is here! Dr. Alexandra has advice for three listeners with three relationship dilemmas related to infidelity and rebuilding trust, both relationally and within themselves.

Start healing together with these listener challenges:

• Our first listener question concerns shame upon discovering an extramarital affair.
• The second question deals with jealousy in the wake of some boundary-breaching behavior that is impacting the relationship.
• An affair partner asks our third question, as she struggles with honesty and clarity within the affair from her married partner.
