Affairs are all about secrets. How can a therapist treat both the unfaithful and the hurt partner and respect the confidences of each? This workshop will describe an “open secrets policy” – a radical model for helping unfaithful partners resolve their ambivalence about what to disclose, decide whether to recommit to the marriage, and perhaps, to work to rebuild trust and intimacy. Tammy and Janis will draw from their clinical cases to bring these concepts to life.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will understand the benefits of seeing partners both individually and conjointly in treating infidelity.
- Participants will challenge the assumption that the therapist can’t keep secrets and maintain ethical boundaries in the couple.
- Participants will learn how to help unfaithful partners unpack their secrets and resolve their ambivalence about recommitting to the marriage.
