Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which one or more of our therapists helps couples—married or not—understand and resolve conflicts and improve their relationship. The initial discovery of infidelity or sexual acting out behavior can trigger a range of powerful emotions for both the sex addicts and the partner—shock, rage, shame, depression, guilt, remorse. Both members of the couple may cycle through all of these emotions many times in a single day—one minute vowing to end the marriage and the next wanting desperately to save it.

• negotiating boundaries
