C.A.R.E: Collaborative Affair Recovery Experience...for women

Picture
​
​Even just the suspicion of betrayal has a profound impact on a person's functioning. Suspicion of relationship betrayal is associated with depersonalization, 
sleep disturbance (insomnia, nightmares), hypervigilance 
(Dean 2011; Weigel & Strout, 2021). 


Infidelity is associated with depression and high risk behaviors  (Cano & O'Leary, 2000) including, alcohol and/or drug use, eating disorders, retaliatory infidelity and unprotected sex (Field, et al., 2013) .

Infidelity and PTSD
Infidelity causes many of the same symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD and profoundly impacts day-to-day functioning, health and well-being (Coop-Gordon, 2020).​​

A study by Lonergan et al. (2020), suggests between 30 and 60 percent of betrayed adults experience PTSD, which in many cases requires psychological and/or medication intervention. 

​Post Infidelity Trauma can make you feel... 

It's like my brain keeps going over and over the details and I can't make it stop...

I am on high alert - always checking, looking to see if something is going on I don't know about...

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I am in a rage one moment, then sobbing the next...

I feel like I am losing it - this is the worst pain I have ever felt...
