Hey y'all, thanks so much for joining me for session 13 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

Today in our no-co-pay-needed segment, I'm joined by special guest therapist, Renelle Nelson,

to talk about recovering after an affair.

Renelle is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and an ASEC certified sex therapist.

She has been providing therapy for over 11 years.

Renelle is also a certified infidelity recovery therapist.

She's passionate about helping couples get through the long-term impact of affairs,

which includes potential divorce, and its overall impact on a societal level.

As a trained infidelity recovery specialist, her role is to guide couples through this

painful time.

Through coaching, directing, and education, she leads couples through uncertainty and

fear to hope and strength.

Renelle and I talked a lot about the seven different types of affairs.

We also discussed the hard work that's involved in recovering from affairs, and also why

it's important to talk about attractions to other people even before an affair happens
