We address how to:
- Create a safe, culturally informed, non-judgmental therapeutic environment to work with confidentiality, transparency, revelation, privacy, and truth-telling.
- Help couples negotiate their sexual styles, take emotional risks, learn sexual communication, define monogamy and discuss attachment maps, while also examining the paradox of love and desire in long-term commitment.
- Process accountability and re-envision a post-affair relationship, explore erotic recovery, erotic blueprints and sexual empathy, including case examples and interventions.
- Help couples end outside affairs with integrity, decide when divorce is the best option, teach how to leave with integrity and address self-esteem and shame as separate partners.
