After the Affair: A Complete Guide to Rebuilding Trust, Intimacy & Your New Monogamy

Can a relationship survive an affair? In thirty years as a sex therapist, Dr. Tammy Nelson has seen the answer again and again: not just survive — but transform.

This guide brings together two of Dr. Nelson's most essential frameworks. Part One walks couples through the early stages of infidelity recovery, including how to have a full disclosure conversation, how to use the crisis as a catalyst for deeper honesty, and how to begin creating a new agreement.

Part Two introduces the New Monogamy, a practical, proven framework for defining your relationship consciously and explicitly, on your own terms.

Whether you're the partner who strayed, the partner who was betrayed, or a therapist supporting couples in crisis, this guide offers a clear, compassionate path through the pain — and toward something truer than what you had before.

Based on Dr. Nelson's book The New Monogamy.
