If an affair has broken the safety in your marriage and you don't know what to do.....
You're not alone.
The affair shattered trust. You’re both left wondering if what’s been broken can ever be rebuilt.
​
​
​
​
Intrusive thoughts won’t stop. Every reminder sends one of you spiraling with panic, rage, and despair — while the other feels helpless watching the pain unfold.
​
​
​
​
More lies. More hidden truth. Just when it feels like you might start healing, something new comes out — and it shatters you both all over again.
​
​
​
​
Your bodies can’t find peace. Sleep is restless, food has no taste, and the anxiety feels endless.
​
​
​
​
Guilt and shame collide with hurt and anger. One of you feels crushed by what’s been done; the other feels trapped in remorse and unsure how to make it right.
​
​
​
​
The smallest things reopen the wound. A scent, a place, or a glance can pull you right back into the pain as if it’s happening all over again.
Therapy that Actually Changes How Your Relationship Feels
You can feel confident in how you handle things together. So every conversations doesn't turn into another fight. Or shutting each other out for days.
​You can rebuild trust and start to feel safe with each other again. ​Even after an affair.... or horrible betrayal.
​
You can reconnect emotionally & physically. Instead of living life alone as roommates.
​
All this is possible with the right guide.
Luke Dickens, PhD, MFT, EFT, EMDR,
I'm Luke, and I'm here to help you find your way back to each other.
​
I work with couples who are in real pain - where they have no idea how to heal or rebuild the trust that was broken by the affair.
We work together to create enough safety in the relationship so that the pain can start to heal. ​​​
​
And trust can slowly be rebuilt.
​
​It would be an honor to guide your relationship from a place of pain and distress; back to a place of safety and connection. ​​
​
​​I offer a free first couples session to help you figure out the next steps.
How Your Relationship Starts to Change
Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy & Gottman Couples Therapy, we guide you through three proven steps to change what's happening in your relationship.
Step 1 - Restore Safety
After the affair, everything feels unstable.
​
Small moments can trigger big reactions.
​
Instead of spiraling, shutting down or getting stuck in conversations about the affair.
​
You can both learn how to have success talking through the painful details and emotions that come up
Step 2 - Repair What Was Broken
Instead of reacting or avoiding each other when the affair needs to be discussed...
​​
You and your partner know what you need when triggers hit to feel safe again. ​
​
Memories aren't as frequent and emotions aren't as intense.
Step 3 - Rebuild Connected
You can feel confident that when things get tense, your connection grows and doesn't break.
Your brain is no longer stuck in the fear of it happening again.
So that you both can experience the type of relationship you both are longing for.
