About this listen

The crisis of infidelity turned out to be one of my life's greatest gifts. I hope that, with your own courageous work, you, too, can translate your pain into your most unexpected gift.

When psychotherapist Lauren LaRusso discovered her husband's affair, her world was shattered. Determined to heal, she immersed herself in understanding infidelity—only to find there was no guide to help her navigate her way through the wreckage. So, she created her own.

Now known as The Affair Consultant, Lauren helps individuals and couples navigate the pain of infidelity and rebuild their lives. In this book, she shares her powerful, seven-step roadmap for surviving—and thriving—after an affair. Whether you're facing betrayal now, recovering from the past, or trying to rebuild your relationship, this book will guide you to a new, empowered future.

Offering guidance and support through personal anecdotes, client stories and expert advice—along with exercises and self-reflection prompts, LaRusso will explain:
- The five stages of grief post-infidelity and how to navigate them
- How to overcome shame and self-blame
- The importance of examining your patterns and behaviors in relationships
- How defense and deflection can hinder your healing
- Why unlearning what doesn't serve you and learning what does is the key to healing

It's time to turn your pain into your greatest strength. Beyond Infidelity will show you how.
