Welcome to Between Us, a collection of real stories and reflections that inform our work as therapists.
Here, we explore the small human moments that teach us, the conversations that shape us, and the narratives that heal us.
It’s for all the feelers, thinkers, and seekers who believe healing is built in the moments we share.
The "Delicious" Delusion Of An Affair
Let's be honest, the word "affair" often conjures images of clandestine meetings, forbidden passion, and a thrilling escape from the mundane. In the movies, it's all dramatic lighting and whispered confessions. In real life? Well, for a time, it can feel, dare I say, delicious. There's a heady cocktail of novelty, secrecy, and ego-boost that makes an affair seem like the ultimate indulgence. You're getting attention, feeling desired, perhaps even rediscovering a version of yourself you thought was lost to laundry lists and lukewarm dinners.
