Rebuild the lost trust in your relationship, heal from the trauma of infidelity, and create a stronger, more resilient marriage with a proven program based on 22 years of clinical experience.

Nothing hurts more than discovering your partner has been unfaithful. But an affair doesn’t mean your partner doesn’t love you or that your relationship is over. Many couples have recovered from infidelity and saved their marriages. You can too.

From nationally recognized relationship expert, Dr. Kathy Nickerson, comes a step-by-step guide to help couples stay together and recover from an affair. The Courage to Stay leads both partners through each phase of their healing process – from suspicion and discovery to rebuilding and recovery.

Pulling from over two decades of experience working with thousands of couples as a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Kathy gives you a powerful blueprint for healing from the trauma of infidelity. You will be compassionately and expertly guided through the anguish, resentment, and overwhelm of an affair – towards safety, trust, and a renewed relationship.

In this revolutionary affair recovery book, you will learn how to:

• Tell your partner you know about the affair, so you can stop it and start healing.
• Discuss the details of the affair, so you both feel safe and heard.
• End all contact with the affair partner and increase transparency, so you can rebuild trust.
• Explore why the affair happened, so you can move towards forgiveness.
• Manage triggers and build trust, so you can feel more comfortable and secure.
• Uncover the trauma or pain that caused the affair, so you can make sure it never happens again.

Navigate the 8 critical steps to healing and what to do if you hit some roadblocks along the way.

This is a really good book to listen to if you or your partner have been harmed by an affair or even a relationship that isn’t 100% truthful

The heartfelt care of the author.

Wonderful read even knowing that I didn’t have the courage to stay. I will read again in the future.

this book is a very helpful book full of resources very professilnal thank God for this work I needed this book in this time of my life

The best book for infidelity!

I researched many books, looking for the right book for my clients, who are struggling with a current affair; this book is by far the best! I highly recommend it.

Helped me find empathy- kind of.

Book is great for the partner who strayed and how to do the work to help heal the relationship. However, the book also stresses the importance of the betrayed partner having empathy for the cheating spouse- and frankly it is just hard to do. I wish there would have been more chapters about channeling the anger and hurt of betrayal. I also like the authors instagram/TikTok page.
