EMDR for Men Who Have Experienced Infidelity Near Milwaukee, WI
Break Free from the Painful Emotions That Keep You Stuck
Infidelity
One of the most viscerally charged experiences in life is that of infidelity. Infidelity can take many forms, from the usual, more well-known physical intimacy to include emotional intimacy. However, both forms can tear a relationship apart and leave lasting scars. We put our trust in others, there is a very fine balance and vulnerable element that keeps it in place.
Pain of Infidelity
Trust between partners is a precious territory. When this becomes severed, many things can occur in the aftermath. Men, for example, may begin to question their past actions, emotional expression, and connection with the other person. This can lead to feelings of anger, irritability, guilt, and shame. This is only addressing the present emotions, not the emotions associated with trying to save the relationship in the future.
Scars of Infidelity
Every man will respond to infidelity in their own unique way. Common responses may center around:
- Trust – both trusting yourself and others may become more difficult.
- Seconding Guessing – when the trust bond is violated, we can begin to second guess the decisions we make.
- Painful Emotions – self-doubt, irritability, anger, sadness, guilt, and shame may arise.
- Emotional Numbness – the emotional pain becomes too much to bare so everything goes numb.
Questioning Your Worth?
It’s interesting how one person’s actions can make us question our own worth but that’s what happens when we share vulnerable aspects of our lives with others. Infidelity can shake our overall self-esteem. The most important thing here is that you can heal. You don’t have to be defined by the inner turmoil this situation has created.
Heal from the Emotional Pain
Infidelity doesn’t have to define your life or hold you back – there’s a way forward. By processing through and integrating the painful emotions, negative thoughts, and destructive behaviors, internal peace is achievable. Healing won’t happen passively – you’ll have to act. But it is possible. Together, we’ll face the emotional pain within to bring about healing in your life.
