For decades, clinicians working with couples whose relationships have been damaged by infidelity – everything from porn use to affairs to full-on sexual addiction – have struggled with the process of creating a truthful baseline from which the couple can heal.

The betrayed partner wants the entire truth because without that, the process of rebuilding trust can’t fully begin and the relationship can’t reach its full potential.
