How to Rebuild Your Spouse's Trust After An Affair

Cheating damages loving relationships and breaks trust. After an extramarital affair has occurred, the relationship is often so strained that one or both parties may consider ending the marriage. Emotional infidelity can be just as devastating to the relationship as a physical affair, and research shows that least one or both parties in half of all couples will break their vows of sexual or emotional exclusivity during the lifetime of the relationship.

Here at Gateway Counseling, we specialize in affair recovery counseling. Let us help you resolve any issues in your marriage and restore your peace of mind. The most recent threat to marriage appears innocently at first- friendships at work or online that cross the blurred line into romantic love. For both sides- the betrayed and the partner who committed the infidelity- this can be a very traumatic and painful time.

If you participated in an affair and want to save your marriage now, please call Gateway Counseling at 561-797-0631. Your first appointment will be a free consultation where we assess your infidelity issue, inform you of how we would begin the recovery process, and discuss how comfortable you are with your therapist. Afterward, sessions are scheduled based on your need- everyone is different.

Our experienced staff are here for you,

Tips To Prevent Stress and Depression During the Holidays

The holiday season tends to bring on feelings of depression, stress, and anxiety. The National Center for Health Statistics indicates a 15% increase in the number of individuals who actively seek help for emotional disorders during the month of December. Experts attribute this sudden spike in stress to heightened seasonal demands including shopping for gifts, hosting parties, and reuniting with family. Instead of letting the holidays bring you down, follow a few simple steps to battle your stress triggers before they have a chance to snowball out of control.

• Accept Your Feelings
• Clear Your Mind and Just Breathe
• Take Some Time For Yourself
• If You Feel Lonely, Seek Out Support In The Community
• Create a Plan For Activities and Shopping Lists
• Stick To a Budget; Money Can't Buy Happiness.
• Accept Family and Friends As They Are
• Be Understanding If Others Get Upset or Distressed
• It's OK to Say No If You're Feeling Overwhelmed
• Hold On To Healthy Habits; Get Plenty of Sleep and Exercise
• Find New Ways To Celebrate Old Traditions
• Take Off The Pressure: The Holidays Don't Have To Be Perfect
• Seek Professional Help

Remember, here at Gateway Counseling Center, we're here to help you year-round. If you live in the Palm Beach area and are experiencing holiday blues, feel free to give us a call at 561-797-0631.

Depression and Anxiety

Depression and Anxiety currently affect millions of American adults. These two conditions are relatively easily treatable, and it’s always good to get treated sooner than later. Those who wait to get treatment often wonder why they waited so long after they finally do! Gateway Counseling specializes in these two disorders, and it’s recommended to come in for a free consultation to discuss your concerns.

You do not have to needlessly suffer from depression or anxiety. Some cases of these conditions can be treated with psychotherapy alone. Sometimes, medication is necessary, and we can help you decide if it might be the right option for your treatment. Each case is specific, and we look forward to helping you on your journey to recovery.
