  Meditation is an enjoyable, inspiring way to achieve inner peace and has been part of the human culture for centuries. Guided meditation uses the power of visualization to effect positive, personal changes and reach a state of inner peace - and is the easiest way to meditate.

Allow time to grieve. Consider the reason why. Set boundaries. Be consistent as you move forward. Give a little and see what you get. Be patient. It is possible to rebuild trust after a betrayal. Whether it is worth it depends on the relationship and your feelings about what happened. Repairing trust takes time and communication; a therapist can help. You may find that your relationship comes out stronger than it was before.
