One of the most frustrating aspects of trust issues after infidelity is that they do not stay in the relationship where the betrayal occurred. A person can leave the partner who cheated, take time to heal, enter a new relationship with someone who is transparently honest, and still find themselves unable to fully trust. The new partner has done nothing wrong, but the old injury is still active. This happens because the trust damage is internal. It is about the person's relationship with trust itself, not about any specific partner's behavior. Until that internal damage is addressed, every new relationship will be filtered through the lens of the old betrayal.
For adults in the Deerfield Beach, Florida area who are experiencing this carry-over effect, Dr. David Steinbok provides psychodynamic psychotherapy designed to address the trust injury at its source. His practice in Boca Raton offers a therapeutic relationship where the dynamics of trust and distrust can be explored in real time rather than discussed hypothetically.
