The First Session after the Affair: Managing the Crisis of Infidelity A Demonstration Video – Ellyn Bader & Peter Pearson, Ph.D.

Meet Dominic and Arielle. Their relationship is on life support. Arielle sees Dominic as the man she wants to marry and start a family with, while Dominic has repeatedly cheated on her.

Strap in for an emotional roller coaster in this intense therapy session – a session both difficult to conduct and painful to watch. See the intense pain of Arielle and Dominic, and how the right approach can transform their shame and guilt and move them each forward.

Watch as Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson skillfully weave their way through the many challenges therapists confront in the tumultuous first session after infidelity:
