Have you suffered from infidelity? The phrase “broken heart” conceals the true anguish that lies underneath the all-too-common incidence of infidelity. The psychological aftermath of sexual betrayal, according to psychologist Dennis Ortman, is similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in its origins and symptoms, which include anxiety, impatience, fury, emotional numbness, and flashbacks. Using PTSD therapy as a paradigm, Dr. Ortman will walk you through the process of resolving conflicting feelings, knowing yourself and your spouse, and making critical life decisions.
Dr. Ortman approaches rehabilitation as a spiritual journey, drawing on the knowledge of several faiths ranging from Christianity to Buddhism. He also discusses heart-wrenchingly familiar case studies of couples suffering with monogamy and recommends techniques to strengthen rehabilitation, such as guided meditations and journaling. You will have completed the six phases of healing by the conclusion of this book and will have emerged with a whole heart, a full spirit, and the freedom to love again.
