Requirements
This course is for Couples who are in a Relationship Crisis. At the same time, this crisis is an opportunity for growth and deepening in your relationship. This course is made for people with a cheating partner, as well as people who have already cheated or are about to commit infidelity. Additionally, the course is valuable for coaches, counsellors, mediators, and couples therapists who guide couples with these problems. In 5 clear steps, I describe how you can move on in a relationship after a partner has cheated. Much research has been conducted as to why people cheat and why people stay together. Little research has been done on the different steps to get out of a relationship crisis when one of the partners has cheated. When people go into couples therapy, the partners and sometimes also the therapist, feel uncomfortable with the situation. Every year, many relationships are troubled by infidelity. And understandably, it is intense for both partners to deal with. If your partner has cheated, my aim is for you to grow closer through this crisis. You may not know exactly how to get through this together or what the outcome will be. Either way, by taking it on, you will come out stronger.
As a Professional Relationship Therapist I helped over 1450 people over the past 18 years in my therapy practice. Furthermore, as a core team teacher at the Dutch Academy of Psychotherapy in Amsterdam I trained over 250 therapists. I worked with people of different Nationalities. Next to Dutch couples I also work with different other and often combined Nationalities like, British, Danish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Israeli, Japanese and American.
In my therapy practice, I see a lot of regret from partners who are genuinely surprised that they, themselves, have cheated. They see themselves as reliable people and never imagined they would do this. They self-punish, let the anger of their partner in and feel incredibly guilty and powerless. I also help people struggling with secret relationships. These are often people who have agreed to be honest with each other when they get feelings for someone else. Yet, despite that promise, when the time comes it is still difficult to be honest.
Description
This course is made for people with a cheating partner, as well as people who have cheated. Additionally, the course is very valuable for coaches, counsellors, mediators, and couples therapists who guide couples with these problems. In 5 clear steps, you learn how you can move on in a relationship after your partner has cheated.Every year, many relationships are troubled by infidelity. And understandably, it is intense for both partners to deal with. If your partner has cheated, my aim is for you to grow closer through this crisis. You may not know exactly how to get through this together or what the outcome will be. Either way, by taking it on, you will come out stronger.Each step begins with an explanation of why it is important to go through the step and what it is you can do. At the end of each step, you will find clear exercises with which you can improve your relationship.Both men and women cheat. Therefore, it goes without saying that where I talk about a woman, this can also be a man and vice versa. And when I talk about relationships, it can be about hetero- sexual as well as same-sex or bisexual relationships. The course is written from the perspective of a woman who finds out her husband has cheated on her.Cheating is by definition something you do that has not been agreed on with your partner. If you agree with your partner to be monogamous, then cheating or infidelity violates honesty and trust. An affair usually meets three elements: an emotional connection, secrecy and sexual chemistry.
