In this episode, Carolyn and Chris discuss recovering from an affair. They look at what to expect from the offending and offended partner and how that shows up in therapy. This is a difficult wounding that many couples are not able to recover from even with the assistance of a therapist. This episode, hopefully, if both partners are invested in repair, can create curiosity about what recovery could look like.
