209. Navigating Affairs: Understanding, Healing, and Rebuilding Trust with Dr. Alison Ash

Hello! We're back with another episode of the Owning Your Sexual Self Podcast! I've got Dr Alison Ash back this week to talk about one of the most substantial relationship ruptures; affairs. If you're looking to understand why affairs occur, how to prevent them, or how to rebuild trust after a betrayal, this is an episode you want to listen to.

In this episode:

• Reasons why affairs are often more about the individual’s needs than the relationship itself
• Why open and honest communication about fantasies and desires can prevent relationship ruptures
• Some unexpected ways an affair might impact the person who has been cheated on
• How to keep the spark alive by bringing back fun, excitement, and newness to your relationship
• How to know when it’s time to let go of a relationship after an affair and what to consider when making that decision
• The importance of seeking professional support to navigate the complexities of infidelity. You don't need to do this on your own
