Infidelity and How Hypnosis Can Help Heal a Relationship

Do these situations sound familiar to you right now?

Situation 1: Your partner says they’re working late, you think nothing of it. Meanwhile, they’ve met someone, and instead of working late, they are out with this person. They may or may not have slept with them. 

Situation 2: You’ve had a quick glance toward your partner’s phone, and a message pops up, and it’s obviously a flirty message. 

Situation 3: You’re in a polycule (polyamorous relationships) and your nesting partner who you’ve settled down with has gone out with someone new they’ve met; they’ve slept with that person, but they haven’t told you about it. 

Situation 4: You’ve got an ethical non-monogamous relationship, or you thought so. Since the boundaries of the relationship were unclear, they’ve technically cheated when they started having an online relationship with someone they met on Tinder.

Whether you are monogamous, in an ethical non-monogamous relationship, or in a polyamorous relationship, infidelity still hurts. Relationships are not easy, and when you feel you’ve been cheated on, it feels like a knife to the heart. 

If someone tells you to brush off or forget about your partner’s infidelity and simply “move on,” they really don’t understand. Prevailing over infidelity can feel like you’re grieving for your relationship, which takes time. 

Hypnotherapy for healing a relationship from infidelity can help you either repair your relationship or help you move forward from the end of your relationship. Allow me to assist you with hypnosis to help cope with your emotions. 

What Causes Infidelity in a Relationship?

Infidelity is one of the most painful things you can experience in a relationship, leaving you hurt, confused, and betrayed. 

Infidelity can be caused by:

• Lack of Communication – If you don’t set clear boundaries with one another and speak openly and honestly about your feelings and needs, it can lead toward disconnect and loneliness. When you’re feeling lonely and disconnected, you may turn to someone outside of your relationship for attention or comfort. 
• Feeling Unfulfilled – One partner may be bored with their relationship and instead of ending the relationship, they pursue an affair as a way to escape reality. They may feel there’s a lack of passion or connection, or overall unhappiness with life. 
• External Pressures – Infidelity can be caused by external pressures like financial stress or work commitments. These can cause tension between partners and can eventually lead to a partner cheating, whether out of spite or revenge over love or compassion for someone else. 

Infidelity, no matter the cause, can extremely damage each partner in the relationship. It will take time and effort to rebuild trust after betrayal and be difficult to get the relationship back on track afterwards. If you want to repair the relationship, especially if there are children involved, it takes dedication and commitment from both sides. 

The Building Blocks of Healing a Relationship

Relationships can be repaired, it takes dedication and commitment, whether you are staying together or ending the relationship but wish to keep it civil (this especially for parents). 

Here’s how you can get started.

• Talk about it: Step one is to talk about what happened. It can be a very painful and difficult conversation, but it’s important to get it all out in the open. Honesty needs to be at the forefront in this conversation, about what happened and why, in order to help you understand each of your needs and start to rebuild your trust. 
• Forgiveness: Forgiving is essential to move forward. It doesn’t mean “forgive and forget.” It means to let go of your anger and resentment and focus on the future and not dwell on the past. 
• Open and Honest Communication: Any relationship needs honest communication, but especially after infidelity. To reiterate what has already been said, be open and honest with one another about your thoughts and feelings. This helps in building trust and strengthening your connection.
• Communicate and Rebuild Trust: Feelings of betrayal, anger, hurt, and jealousy are common, which can make it a challenge in rebuilding trust after an affair. It can be possible to repair the relationship if you’re willing to put in the work to communicate and rebuild trust. 
• Changing Your Feelings Surrounding Infidelity: Though you may “think” you have forgiven your partner, you may not “feel” that you have. Hypnotherapy can help to change the way you emotionally respond to your thoughts or memories of your partner’s infidelity. 
• Professional Help: Couples counseling is a wonderful way to help each other get everything out in the open if you’re struggling to communicate. If you’re looking for a subconscious approach, I can assist you in working through your emotions, restoring trust, releasing any jealousy with hypnotherapy.

Hypnotic Help for Healing a Relationship After Infidelity

Hypnotherapy may be the right choice for you in healing your relationship. You may be wondering, how else can hypnosis help with healing?

We start by fully understanding the scenario. When did your anger and resentments start? Was it before the infidelity happened? You may start to see how you played a role in how these events progressed and even accept some responsibility for communication breakdown and trust within the relationship. 

Gradually, we will release your anger and resentment, along with any negative emotions, from your lifetime so the issue in the relationship isn’t shadowed by other life events. 

Relationships are messy, and it is completely normal for couples to go through periods of intense difficulty. In many relationships, infidelity is a deal-breaker. If one of you in the relationship has been unfaithful, you may wonder if things can be back to normal. 

If it’s not a deal-breaker and you both are willing to put in the effort and commitment, many couples manage to overcome infidelity and repair their relationship.
