More Than Sorry: 5 Steps to Deepen Your Apology After You Have Committed Infidelity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736982013)

Have you cheated? Have you violated your partner's trust through an in-person affair, secret online relationship, or pornography? Have you repeatedly found the words "I'm sorry" aren't enough to stop the suspicions and accusations? These words, alone, won't lead to relationship repair after an affair, nor do they communicate compassion for the victims of the affair.

More Than Sorry outlines the five steps crucial to deepening one's apology after committing infidelity by highlighting the journey of diverse couples struggling to repair their relationships. Within these steps and accompanying stories, you'll find seventeen key prompts to encourage journaling for self-improvement, provide self-discovery tools, and lead to a more empathetic and authentic apology. As a result, you will experience personal and relational growth and enhance your intimacy with others by sharing your secrets and repair journey.

Too often in affair recovery work, the focus is primarily on the victim without equal emphasis on the adulterer's motivation, choices, and emotional state. Without a balanced approach, a couple's relationship repair often fails.

In More Than Sorry, Dr. Deborah Miller, a Licensed Professional Counselor, exclusively focuses on the adulterer and encourages a deep self-examination of one's:

- Moral code

- Personality type

- Relationship style

- Defense and coping mechanisms and much more

Find the courage to act and face the shame and guilt of your betrayal. Own your mistakes and the consequences of your secret-keeping. Stop sabotaging yourself and start repairing your most meaningful relationship the right way. You will gain real hope that an exposed affair can be the beginning of repair, connection, growth, and forgiveness. The path is inside More Than Sorry: 5 Steps to Deepen Your Apology After You Have Committed Infidelity.
