Infidelity: To Forgive and Forget is a Harmful Advice

October 22, 2018 by Nova Cruz 2 Comments

It is a cause of concern when clients tell me that they were previously advised to forgive and forget their partner’s betrayal. This advice is friendlier to the strayed spouse but constricting to the betrayed partner. The betrayed partner could feel unnecessary guilt because he/she couldn’t do what was being asked of her.

June 7, 2016 by Nova Cruz Leave a Comment

In counseling, I’ve encountered a number of women who are unsure wether they love themselves or not. Loving oneself sounds foreign to them, like it was the first time they’ve heard of it.
