Question: 

I’m a veteran with PTSD, TBI, and ADHD, currently undergoing EMDR therapy. My unfaithful wife betrayed me on December 5, 2023, exactly one year after I bought her our home. She was caught via GPS and continued to lie until exposed by a hidden video. Her current therapist lacks specialization in infidelity and advises against focusing on my healing, labeling it codependency. This has created further strain, as experts recommend prioritizing the betrayed partner’s healing initially. Despite our engagement in EMSO, Hope for Healing, and Harboring Hope, she struggles with fully embracing her responsibilities and addressing my pain. We need guidance on finding a therapist specializing in infidelity who can help her support my healing while addressing her issues. What should we look for in a therapist to ensure they can provide the specialized support needed for infidelity recovery?
