You aren't losing your mind. You are experiencing betrayal trauma.
The moment you discovered the affair, your world didn't just change-it shattered. The person you trusted most became the source of your deepest pain, leaving you trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts, sleepless nights, and a physical "alarm" in your chest that won't turn off.
In After the Affair, Jay Domingo provides a compassionate, science-based roadmap to help you navigate the wreckage. This isn't just a book about infidelity; it is a guide to reclaiming your nervous system and your life.
By shifting the focus from the unfaithful partner to your individual recovery, Domingo explains why your brain has gone into "survival mode" and provides the clinical tools necessary to move from crisis to stabilization.
