In this episode of Sex, Love, and Addiction, Dr. Rob welcomes therapist Michelle Mays back to the show. Michelle is the Founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Relational Recovery with offices in Leesburg, VA, and Washington, DC. She and her team deliver treatment to both addicts and betrayed partners. Dr. Rob and Michelle discuss how couples can overcome betrayal after infidelity and why it’s perfectly normal for betrayed partners to have an attachment ambivalence pattern towards the person who has hurt them. They also discuss how to define and rebuild trust, connection, and love after a betrayal.
