Recovering From Infidelity: Can Love Survive Betrayal?

What really happens after someone cheats—and is there ever a way back? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Monique Thompson, a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author of the Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples. She reveals why “going back to the way it was” is never the goal, how to know if your discomfort is about your partner or your own unresolved past, and the science-backed number of minutes it actually takes to heal betrayal trauma (spoiler: it’s fewer than you think). Her no-nonsense, non-judgmental approach will completely change the way you think about cheating, trust, and what’s possible on the other side.
