What Happens After Shattered? Finding Hope and Healing After Infidelity

It is no secret that many hearts have been shattered by infidelity. With affairs and sexual addiction at all time highs in our society, it is no wonder that those affected by the real-life trauma and agonizing pain of unfaithfulness search for ways to cope, forgive, and eventually heal.

In her comprehensive, Christian self-help guidebook What Happens After Shattered?, licensed mental health counselor Dr. Deanna Sims shares gentle guidance that includes case examples, strategies for coping and healing, and over one hundred biblical passages. With the hope of encouraging and supporting those on a journey to healing after infidelity, Dr. Sims addresses many key issues including how to

identify the different types of affairs;
honor anger as a natural phase of grieving;
navigate through the discovery and disclosure phases of an affair;
understand narcissism and its correlation to infidelity;
answer questions to determine whether to reconcile or terminate the marriage;
implement an affair-prevention plan to safeguard your marriage;
work toward a spirit of forgiveness;

What Happens After Shattered? reinforces the important message that hope, personal growth, and healing are possible–even after the life-altering experience of an affair.
