Can Trust Be Rebuilt?
When everything feels broken, we help couples slowly rebuild safety, honesty, and trust.
Why Did This Happen?
Making sense of the affair and understanding the deeper patterns beneath the pain.
Do We Stay or Walk Away?
Finding clarity about the future of your relationship—without pressure or rushing the decision.
When Trust Feels Shattered
Discovering your partner’s infidelity can feel devastating. One moment, everything feels familiar, and the next, everything feels uncertain. Many couples themselves are searching for answers—reading, listening, trying to make sense of what happened—yet still feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
The trust you once relied on may feel broken, leaving you asking:
How could this happen? What does this mean for us?
You may be experiencing…
Constant thoughts about the affair you can’t switch off
Waves of anger, hurt, sadness, and grief
Replaying what happened or searching for answers
Feeling unsafe or disconnected in the relationship
Conversations that escalate or shut down
Uncertainty about whether to stay or walk away
Affairs—whether emotional, physical, or online—can deeply impact both partners.
At Voyage Couples Therapy in High Park, Toronto, we support couples through affair recovery and infidelity counselling, offering in-person sessions in West Toronto and virtual therapy across Ontario.
Working With an Affair Recovery Therapist
We use the evidence-based “Gottman Trust Revival Method” developed by pioneers in couples therapy model Drs. John & Julie Gottman, who have 40 years of breakthrough research under their belt.
Phase 1:
Atone
We don’t yet talk about “Why” the affair happened (stay tuned to learn why)
Betrayer makes a commitment to be “absolutely transparent”
Hurting partner asks questions about the affair
Learning to express feelings of hurt & anger without using criticism or contempt.
Betrayer partner expresses remorse for their actions, takes accountability & shows empathy
Betrayer commits to be a part of the healing journey with the Hurting party.
Phase 2:
Attunement
You learn to become more “vulnerable” & reverse the patterns of conflict
Understand why & how the affair happened.
Learning “Tools” for intimate connection
New conflict management skills are acquired through this phase using different interventions & tools.
Processing past regrettable incidents (excluding affairs)
You & your partner learning to be “Great Listeners”
Phase 3:
Attach
Working together towards “Re-commitment & Loyalty”
What does Forgiveness look like?
Building rituals of connection
Working on cherishing each other
Rekindle a passion-filled “sexual life”
You along with your partner also create a plan for consequences if future infidelity happens.
