Infidelity changes a relationship. That is just a fact. But it does not have to define a relationship forever. With the right support, the right infidelity therapy strategy, and a willingness to face the truth together, many couples rediscover the things that they lost; like connection, understanding, and a way forward. For many couples, marriage counselling after infidelity becomes the first step toward rebuilding an honest and secure partnership. It takes work, but healing and rebuilding is possible when both partners are committed to making things work. The Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) Infidelity Therapy Strategy An attachment injury occurs when one partner experiences a moment of deep emotional hurt in the relationship; especially at a time when they needed support, care, or reassurance the most. Instead of feeling protected or valued, they are left feeling alone, rejected, or betrayed. These moments do not just fade with time. They often stay present in the relationship. The Attachment Injury Resolution Model offers a clear, step-by-step infidelity therapy strategy designed to help couples move through the pain of betrayal in a way that leads to real healing. In marriage counselling after infidelity, this process focuses on helping both partners safely revisit what happened, but in a way that creates understanding instead of further harm. Here is what AIRM looks like in marriage counselling after infidelity: Making Space for the Pain Understanding the Impact Taking Emotional Responsibility Creating a New Emotional Experience Rebuilding a Sense of Security What Healing Can Look Like With the Right Help Not all approaches to marriage counselling after infidelity go deep enough to address the emotional impact of betrayal. Some focus only on communication or problem-solving. But without healing the underlying injury, those surface-level changes often do not last. That is why using an attachment-based infidelity therapy strategy like AIRM can be so powerful. It focuses on what truly drives connection between partners. Taking Strides Towards Healing At My Growth Counselling, we approach marriage counselling after infidelity with care and a deep understanding of how painful infidelity can be. Our founder, Sherriden Brown, a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, specializes in helping couples navigate the aftermath of betrayal using a structured and compassionate infidelity therapy strategy rooted in AIRM. You do not have to keep living in the weight of what happened. And you do not have to figure this out on your own. Contact us today to book your FREE 15-minute consultation and take real strides towards healing.

    Therapy is a space for you to receive care that is focused on improving your mental health and wellbeing. You are free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable. I specialize in relationships, and use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help my clients. I help clients explore their inner world and go beneath the feelings of frustration, anger or emptiness. When we look beyond these reactive and protective feelings, we learn to navigate our lives and relationships in new and freeing ways.

  • Where is your office located?

    My comfortable therapeutic space is located in the heart of Port Credit with free parking available nearby. It is a short walk from the Port Credit train station.

  • Will our problems come back when we end therapy?

    The research is clear that progress continues well beyond the conclusion of sessions. It is thought that this is because Emotionally Focused Therapy addresses the root causes of relational problems rather than the surface-level symptoms. 

  • One of us isn’t ‘emotional’, is EFT appropriate for us?

    Yes! I will meet you where YOU are. Our behaviours are driven by our emotions, and sometimes our strategies for dealing with stressors in the relationship are to pull away, shut down, or not feel. These are all legitimate ways of coping, my role is to help you put words to these ways of coping that draw your partner close.
