030: Helping Couples Cope After Infidelity with Terri DiMatteo

Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by infidelity. It is such a prevalent reality in our society, yet there is still so much taboo and limited understanding in the way that we talk about it. There tends to be a lot of shame and judgement involved which can make it even more difficult for couples to work through it. In this interview with Terri DiMatteo we talk about how to help couples affected by infidelity and betrayal. We go into detail about how to guide couples to have a different perspective and learn to trust and depend on each other again.  Terri DiMatteo is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and the founder of Open Door Therapy.
