Most of us know, either through direct experience or vicarious experience of someone close to us, that infidelity is a painful discovery or revelation. But, why does the pain linger? Why is it that after a year or so into hard couple recovery work does it still hurt so badly? What does this pain mean? Is it supposed to be this way? Does it ever get better? In this episode of Therapists’ Take, Carrie and Josh will address these questions and more.
