The first step in the Smart Affair Repair process is a free introductory meeting. This session is crucial for both you and your coach to assess whether the program is the right fit for your unique situation. During this meeting, we'll discuss the current state of your relationship, the specific challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve through this program.

Key Objectives:

• Establish rapport and ensure comfort with the coach.

• Clarify expectations of both partners and goals for the program.

• Determine if the Smart Affair Repair approach aligns with your needs.

• Ensuring no violence in the relationship

This initial meeting sets the foundation for the entire process, ensuring that both of you are committed and ready to work together towards healing and rebuilding your relationship.

After the introductory meeting, you'll begin the core of the program with weekly videos that delve into the complexities of affairs and their impact on relationships. These videos are designed to provide you with a deep understanding of what happens after an affair, including the emotional, psychological, and relational dynamics at play.

Key Objectives:

• Gain insight into the common responses and emotions following an affair.

• Understand how these responses quickly become their own pattern of interaction, leading to resentment, walling-off, and further damage to the relationship.

• Learn the initial steps to start the healing and repair process.

• Understand the jobs that each of you have in the process. Both the affair-involved party and the injured party have a job to do. Just like any relationship, you will depend on each other to do your part.

These videos are a valuable resource that you can revisit as needed, helping you to internalize the concepts and strategies that will guide your journey.

While the videos provide foundational knowledge, the real transformation begins with personalized support. Each week, you'll have a one-on-one meeting with your coach, where you'll receive customized feedback and solutions tailored to your specific situation.

Key Objectives:

• Discuss your progress, challenges, and breakthroughs. There will often be stuck spots. Some people get stuck at asking for empathy. Some people get defensive. Some people are quick to get angry. Some people get stuck in hopelessness. We’re here to help you through that.

• Identify how your emotional process hijacks your relationship

• Receive actionable advice and tools to change the process you use in your relationship.

• Address any concerns or setbacks with expert guidance.

These sessions are where you can dig deep into the unique dynamics of your relationship, ensuring that the solutions and strategies are effective and relevant to your needs.

The final step in the Smart Affair Repair process is focused on long-term change and relationship enhancement. As you continue to work through the program, you'll begin to understand how to shift your relationship dynamics to reduce vulnerabilities and make your partnership stronger than it was before the affair.

Key Objectives:

• Identify and address the underlying issues that generated the vulnerability to someone else coming in between both of you.

• Identify patterns in your relationship that caused disconnection, resentment, loneliness, anger.

• Develop strategies to enlist the other person’s cooperation to improve intimacy, trust, and communication.

• Foster a relationship that is resilient and more fulfilling than ever.

By the end of this stage, you'll not only have repaired the damage caused by the affair but will have created a relationship that is healthier, more connected, and equipped to withstand future challenges.
