Rebuilding Trust: Guided Therapy Techniques and Activities to Restore Love, Trust, and Intimacy in Your Relationship

Morgan has written such a forward-thinking and relevant book for today and the future in how to navigate relational trust within all types of relationships. Unlike a number of books on the psychology of relationships (a lot of which are frankly out of date and/or not easy to read/boring), Morgan is at the forefront of her field and wrote a book that is not only relevant and relatable to everyone, but also is straight forward and easy to read/understand and extremely interactive with tables and suggested homework! I sat down with this book and could not put it down and read it in one sitting as it captivated me to my core! This is a no nonsense guide to navigating today’s relationships and I highly recommend this book for not only those who are struggling - this book is for everyone wanting to expand their knowledge on relationships and life in general!

If you’re reading this, you probably need help with your relationship. You are probably feeling overwhelmed, frightened, defeated, and worried about the future. I know the feeling. While the issues in my relationship did not center around infidelity, it centered around some things that required help to rebuilding trust. This book allowed us to go at our own pace, have meaningful, healthy discussions in a way that got to the heart of the matter, and allowed us to begin to let our guards down just a little bit — which is a big step. Trust is easy to break and hard to regain …but it is possible. I’d recommend that you give this book a chance. What have you got to lose? Probably everything, but you also have everything to gain!

This workbook has a lot of great information, activities, and questions for partners. Much of the content is directed towards cheating, abuse, and honestly people who seemingly can’t be in the same room together without heightened emotions. It makes it a little awkward using this for other reasons for broken trust, but we make it work.

I'm a couples therapist and I've been practicing for 20+ years. I always say I'm very eclectic, drawing from multiple approaches, pulling resources from here and there as needed. This book makes me think the author does the same and she smartly decided to compile it all into a very easy to read guidebook for couples. It's great and I think even though it's written to help couples after an affair or other such relationship norm violation, I think it's helpful for anyone. What couple couldn't benefit from more mutual trust in their relationship?

I got myself a copy as well and am still working on it but he and i both agree this boy had alot of good exercises to try but better to try when youre in person not on 15minutr phones calls

This workbook is definitely geared more toward couples that have had infidelity in the marriage or relationship. My husband and I do not have that issue, but we find the basics of this book still help us with better communication and rebuilding after separation. You must be willing to really take the time to implement and practice the skills and tips being taught in the book. We have implemented several of the tools and our bond is definitely getting stronger.

I'm still looking for a book for recovery from the PAIN of marital infidelity. THIS IS NOT IT for us !!! If teaching you a new language to use that excuses the offending spouse from guilt and shame and minimizing the acknowledgement of DAMAGE a family suffers under this situation isnt enough, the author bases the ongoing tools/exercises on use of parochial terms, hand signals and "safe spaces" to communicate with your partner - which I found REPULSIVE as an adult :-( To top it all off, she addresses "the involved partner" (the one who cheated) and lets him or her know that, if they are in love with the person with whom they had an affair, that, after going through her program to rebuild trust, they may be able to return to a relationship with the person with whom they had the affair - a statement made at the END OF THE INTRODUCTION. IF this all sounds good to you....buy it !!!

I just recently completed my masters and I’m now working as an MFT in private practice with couples. I just got this book to gain some of Morgan’s insight on rebuilding trust with couples as I know she is the trust recovery queen 🙌🏽 this book absolutely lives up to every hope I had for it!! So so useful for my own conceptualization as well as tools I can recommend/implement with clients. I can’t wait to put this to use! Thank you for this wonderful tool!
