10 Sep 2019Episode 064: Episode 064: Are you in a Parent - Child Relationship With Your Spouse?00:14:33

Are you and your spouse equal partners in your relationship? Or has one of you become more of a parent to the other?

When a couple starts to fall into a parent-child dynamic, codependency, rather than a balanced, cooperative relationship starts to emerge. Essentially, this means that the overall patterns of communication and behavior push one partner (either the male or the female) into a parent or a child position within the relationship. 

In this episode, I do the following:

  • help you take a closer look at what this destructive dynamic may look like
  • share why you shouldn't promote this in your relationship
  • suggest two strategies to avoid it

31 Oct 2019Episode 066: How a Woman Can End An Affair Without Falling on Her Face: A Discussion with Debbie Rose00:55:17

When we think of healing from an affair, we focus on the betrayal of the faithful partner.

We rarely think of the unfaithful partner’s wounded mind.

That’s where the expertise of Debbie Rose comes in.

Listen to my interview with Debbie to learn the steps to ending an affair.

19 Jan 2024Episode 080: How to Rebuild Trust After Cheating: Earn It!00:42:20

If you and your partner are navigating the challenging journey of affair recovery, understanding how to rebuild trust after infidelity is crucial. In this episode, we delve into the intricate process of earning back trust that has been lost in a relationship.

Join us as we explore the evolution of the concepts of blind trust versus open-eyed trust, drawing from experiences working with couples healing from infidelity. Our discussion takes a unique turn as we question the commonly used term "rebuilding trust" and introduce a more nuanced perspective inspired by an enlightening article by trust expert Rachel Botsman.

To shed light on this profound shift in perspective, we are joined by Dr. Yael Haklai-Neagu, one of our lead therapists at Relationship Experts. Together, we unravel the differences between rebuilding and earning trust in the aftermath of infidelity.

We draw insights from Botsman's groundbreaking ideas, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in the trust dynamic. Dr. Yael shares her thoughts on the critical roles of the Trust Giver (the hurt partner) and the Trust Receiver (the unfaithful partner) in the healing process.

The discussion extends to the obstacles that can hinder trust-building, such as entitlement and unyielding rejection. We explore the delicate balance required from both partners, acknowledging the collaborative effort needed for genuine healing.

Central to our conversation is the distinction between trust as a belief and trust as behavior. We explore actionable tips on how the unfaithful partner can act in trustworthy ways, including transparency, accountability, and consistency.

The episode concludes with practical do's and don'ts for couples seeking to earn trust after infidelity, emphasizing the importance of allowing trust to be earned and acting in consistent, intentional, and trustworthy ways.

Whether you're in the midst of affair recovery or seeking insights into trust dynamics, this episode provides valuable guidance on the journey to rebuilding and earning trust. Join us as we navigate the complexities of trust in the aftermath of infidelity and offer practical steps for couples looking to heal and move forward.

15 May 2017Episode 005: What To Do When Your Partner Doesn't Care00:23:34

Has this ever happen to you where all you were looking for is support from your spouse and all you got was a cold shoulder? Does that happen more often than not?

Many couples go through this vicious cycle we call the pursuer distancer dynamic. It is when one partner (the pursuer) attempts to make a connection with his or her partner and is turned away by not getting the response hoped for. As a result, the pursuer continues attempting by making more gestures towards their partner usually more focused in getting their attention. This usually ends up with the pursued partner withdrawing even more and becoming the distancer making them look like they don't care. 

This vicious cycle leaves the pursuing partner feeling powerless and defeated, while the distancing partner feels upset and harassed. 

In this Episode called 'What To Do When Your Partner Doesn't Care' relationship expert Idit Sharoni lays down strategies for you to avoid these situations and move away from feeling not heard to being listened to and cared for in your relationship. 

Both hosts Idit Sharoni and Alina Gershonov make sure to get these strategies beyond just great advice. They make them easy to implement so you can start making the changes and feel heard in no time.

If you've recently gone through a breakup, then you may find relief in knowing that you are not the only one who feels like you're withdrawing from a drug.

This makes sense, love is one of the most powerful addictions; if it's lost then the body enters a period of withdrawal. 

In this episode called Why Getting Over a Breakup Can Feel Like Drug Withdrawal, Breakup Specialist Alina Gershonov and Relationship Expert Idit Sharoni explain what the physical process entails once the body's stress hormones have been released. 

In addition, the #1 tip for survival is shared to help you through this withdrawal period. You don't want to miss it!

19 Mar 2019Episode 063: Who's going to Heal Your Pain After Infidelity?00:19:31

Today, I want to talk about who can heal your pain after infidelity. You’ll learn who really can help heal the pain, who doesn’t have the power to help, and what you can do if you’re stuck feeling unable to move past the hurt.

I dive into the topic by telling you about a contact that I recently received from a spouse who had been cheated on and wanted to be seen individually. There was nothing alarming about this at first, but the person then shared something troubling: a therapist had told this person that seeking individual help to overcome the pain was needed before the couple could healthily recover together.

The first issue that I have with this is that sending one partner off to seek help alone is very difficult. I talk about how it takes so much courage to trust anyone after infidelity and that isolating sends a bad message to the hurt partner. 

The second issue I have is that many therapists have the assumption that the pain after infidelity is individual and, therefore, the hurting individual is capable of fixing it. You must remember that forgiveness is a journey that both sides need to go on and that it needs to be earned.

The third issue I have is the sense that hurt partners who are not ready to forgive are considered unable to surrender to the process. I provide my opinion that surrender should not be expected because the situation that the couple has found themselves in is not a war. 

Therapy is not a body shop where you check your problematic spouse in to get fixed. The betraying partner needs to understand that they are the person who will help the healing.

06 Dec 2024Episode 084: Why Postponing Healing After Infidelity is a Risk You Can’t Afford to Take00:25:01

In this eye-opening episode, Idit Sharoni, licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in affair recovery, dives into one of the most common mistakes couples make after infidelity: postponing the healing process.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that time alone will heal the wounds of betrayal, but the truth is, avoiding the hard work of healing can leave lasting scars on your relationship. From lingering pain and resentment to recurring trust issues, skipping this crucial step can silently erode your connection over time.

In this episode, Idit explores why healing after infidelity is non-negotiable, the hidden costs of avoidance, and how to take meaningful steps toward rebuilding trust and intimacy. Whether you’re in the early stages of recovery or feeling stuck in a “good enough” relationship, this episode offers hope, clarity, and actionable advice to help you move forward.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What the “stabilization trap” is and how it can keep couples stuck after infidelity.
  • The long-term risks of postponing healing, including unresolved pain, resentment, and recurring infidelity.
  • Why time alone doesn’t heal wounds—intentional effort does.
  • How to rebuild trust and connection through open communication and shared goals.
  • Actionable steps to start the healing process and prevent future issues.
  • Common fears about healing after infidelity and how to overcome them.

Who This Episode is For:

  • Couples who’ve chosen to stay together after infidelity but feel stuck in their healing journey.
  • Hurt partners struggling with lingering pain or trust issues.
  • Unfaithful partners looking to understand how to rebuild trust and connection.
  • Anyone curious about the process of affair recovery and how to create a stronger, healthier relationship.

Key Takeaways:

  • Time doesn’t heal all wounds—effort does. Healing requires intentional action and commitment from both partners.
  • Avoiding healing has hidden costs. Lingering pain, resentment, and a lack of trust can quietly damage your relationship over time.
  • Rebuilding trust is possible. Open communication, emotional processing, and a shared vision for the future are key to creating a stronger relationship.

07 Mar 2023Episode 077: The Undetected Cause of Infidelity00:24:58

You don’t want to miss this article. In fact, I can’t believe we haven’t talked about this  before. Why? Because this topic is too important to skip. What I’m about to share with you has a way of hiding in the shadows of too many relationships…

First, you probably know that infidelity happens for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it has to do with the relationship, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it’s a combination of both. What you might not know is that, in the majority of cases, there is a “silent killer” lurking between partners for months, even years before infidelity ever happens. 

It’s called conflict avoidance.

How does something this destructive go undetected? Because it feels natural, even good at times. Yet, it has the power to gradually and quietly disconnect partners completely.

Fortunately, your relationship is not at the unavoidable mercy of this hidden relationship problem. I’m here to help you understand what conflict avoidance is, what it does, and how you can stop it.
