When your spouse or partner cheats on you, the impact is not only devastating but also life-changing. The betrayal trauma, shock, anger, and grief hit hard and can be overwhelming for many. In the aftermath, you’re left wondering how you could ever forgive the person who broke your heart. In this video, psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Doug Weiss speaks directly to the betrayed partner, offering compassion, validation, and practical guidance on healing after infidelity.

Dr. Weiss expertly explains what the process of forgiveness really looks like, the issue of trust and how it can be rebuilt over time, and why doing the necessary anger work is essential for your emotional and mental health. Whether your spouse is truly repentant or you’re walking this journey alone, you deserve support and guidance as you work through the trauma.

If you’re recovering from physical or emotional affairs, the impact of sex addiction, or the emotional rollercoaster of betrayal trauma, you are not alone. Forgiving someone who cheated on you is not easy. But with the right tools, support, and boundaries, it is possible to find peace, regain your identity, and decide how to move forward in life.
