Hi everyone, this is Todd Creager. In today's episode, I dive deep into answering your most pressing questions about rebuilding emotional connection after infidelity. Having worked with countless couples navigating the aftermath of betrayal, I know how challenging this journey can be. I'll share practical insights on developing emotional muscle, mastering attunement, and embracing vulnerability to help heal your relationship.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How to develop real emotional muscle by exploring tension rather than avoiding it, allowing you to stay present with your partner even during difficult conversations
• The power of true attunement (my favorite concept!) and why it's so different from just listening – learn how to make your partner feel truly heard and understood
• Practical strategies for handling setbacks and recognizing genuine progress in your relationship's healing journey

Whether you're the person who was betrayed or the one who strayed, this episode offers valuable guidance for both partners wanting to rebuild trust and deepen their connection. 

I share real examples and metaphors to help you understand these concepts in action, including a personal story about how vulnerability can be wonderfully contagious.

Join me as we explore these essential tools for healing after infidelity. Together, we can make the world safe for love.
