After infidelity, emotions can feel overwhelming. Many people unknowingly bypass their pain—either by forcing positivity, over-intellectualizing, or even using spirituality to avoid sitting with difficult feelings. But true healing requires emotional processing, not avoidance.

In this episode, we break down:

• The difference between emotional processing, emotional bypassing, and spiritual bypassing
• Signs you might be avoiding your emotions without realizing it
• Why “just moving on” too quickly can slow down true healing
• How to process emotions in a healthy way—without getting stuck in pain
• How couples can support each other without forcing premature healing
