A comprehensive, compassionate approach to healing from infidelity and betrayal trauma

The “After the Affair” series was created to fill a critical gap in infidelity recovery resources. While many books address the immediate crisis, few provide comprehensive guidance through the entire healing journey, from initial shock through long-term transformation.

Our mission is to walk beside you through every stage of recovery, offering compassionate guidance, practical strategies, and hope for a future stronger than your past.

The 7 Types of Infidelity Framework

Not all affairs are the same. Our unique framework identifies seven distinct types of infidelity: emotional, physical, online, opportunistic, serial, exit affairs, and more; each requiring different recovery strategies. This type-specific approach ensures you get guidance tailored to your exact situation.

Progressive Healing Timeline

Each book is designed for a specific stage of recovery.
Book 1 helps you survive the first six months.
Book 2 guides you through months 6-12 with critical decision-making.
Book 3 takes you beyond the first year into transformation and thriving
Book 4 provides hands-on exercises for every stage.

Real Questions, Real Answers

With over 200 comprehensive Q&As across the series, we address the actual questions that keep you up at night: from “How do I stop obsessing?” to “Can I ever trust again?” to “How do I talk to my kids about this?”

Case Studies from Real Life

Throughout the series, you’ll find detailed case studies of real people navigating infidelity recovery: their struggles, breakthroughs, and transformations. These stories offer hope and practical insights you can apply to your own journey.
