Rebuilding Trust: Guided Therapy Techniques and Activities to Restore Love, Trust, and Intimacy in Your Relationship

This workbook is definitely geared more toward couples that have had infidelity in the marriage or relationship. My husband and I do not have that issue, but we find the basics of this book still help us with better communication and rebuilding after separation. You must be willing to really take the time to implement and practice the skills and tips being taught in the book. We have implemented several of the tools and our bond is definitely getting stronger.

If you’re reading this, you probably need help with your relationship. You are probably feeling overwhelmed, frightened, defeated, and worried about the future. I know the feeling. While the issues in my relationship did not center around infidelity, it centered around some things that required help to rebuilding trust.This book allowed us to go at our own pace, have meaningful, healthy discussions in a way that got to the heart of the matter, and allowed us to begin to let our guards down just a little bit — which is a big step. Trust is easy to break and hard to regain …but it is possible.I’d recommend that you give this book a chance. What have you got to lose? Probably everything, but you also have everything to gain!

Overall I like the book, however some of the examples are just fluff, and not explained very well. I wish it had more direct questions basically it just talks about ideas.

Morgan has written such a forward-thinking and relevant book for today and the future in how to navigate relational trust within all types of relationships. Unlike a number of books on the psychology of relationships (a lot of which are frankly out of date and/or not easy to read/boring), Morgan is at the forefront of her field and wrote a book that is not only relevant and relatable to everyone, but also is straight forward and easy to read/understand and extremely interactive with tables and suggested homework! I sat down with this book and could not put it down and read it in one sitting as it captivated me to my core! This is a no nonsense guide to navigating today’s relationships and I highly recommend this book for not only those who are struggling - this book is for everyone wanting to expand their knowledge on relationships and life in general!

It’s working … so, so far so good! 😊

I'm a couples therapist and I've been practicing for 20+ years. I always say I'm very eclectic, drawing from multiple approaches, pulling resources from here and there as needed. This book makes me think the author does the same and she smartly decided to compile it all into a very easy to read guidebook for couples. It's great and I think even though it's written to help couples after an affair or other such relationship norm violation, I think it's helpful for anyone. What couple couldn't benefit from more mutual trust in their relationship?

I'm still looking for a book for recovery from the PAIN of marital infidelity. THIS IS NOT IT for us !!! If teaching you a new language to use that excuses the offending spouse from guilt and shame and minimizing the acknowledgement of DAMAGE a family suffers under this situation isnt enough, the author bases the ongoing tools/exercises on use of parochial terms, hand signals and "safe spaces" to communicate with your partner - which I found REPULSIVE as an adult :-( To top it all off, she addresses "the involved partner" (the one who cheated) and lets him or her know that, if they are in love with the person with whom they had an affair, that, after going through her program to rebuild trust, they may be able to return to a relationship with the person with whom they had the affair - a statement made at the END OF THE INTRODUCTION. IF this all sounds good to you....buy it !!!

This is a very informative and useful book. It really helped me understand how to deal with a difficult situation. Highly recommended
