Healing After the Affair

I write to remind us all that healing is possible and real.” I understand the pain of infidelity because I’ve lived through it myself. My greatest wish is that readers will see themselves reflected in the book and feel reminded that they are not broken, that healing takes many forms, and that no one has to walk this road alone.

What others say

"Ballard-Smith's book is a detailed and finely-tuned discussion of communication between spouses/partners. Even if you agree to go separate ways, you can leave feeling as though you have examined what went wrong and why; and have given full effort to resolving the breakdown."

"Thank you, Nicole, your very kind and intelligent review of the research and clear pathway will be helpful to many looking for healing. After a very validating and compassionate review of the impact of betrayal trauma, describing the physical, emotional, logistical and psychic affects of these events, I found a way to proceed. "
