Description

Therapists often feel challenged working with couples in the aftermath of infidelity.  PTSD symptoms can surface in the form of unrelenting obsessing about the details of a partner’s affair. In this presentation, Ellyn will describe when and why obsessing is valuable and when it is not. She will also demonstrate via video how to start interrupting this negative ongoing traumatic pattern.
