Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about infidelity in midlife relationships with Dr. Lauren Napolitano.
Surprisingly, one of the hardest parts of working through infidelity can be that you feel alone and without support; that’s because shame and stigma may keep you from telling your loved ones about the infidelity.
My guest today is Dr. Lauren Napolitano, a clinical psychologist in Philadelphia. She has 25 years of experience treating individuals and couples. She specializes in helping couples who are dealing with infidelity, sexual difficulties, and communication issues.
She also works with divorced couples who need support in their co-parenting relationship. When she works with clients on an individual basis, she aims to help them get unstuck and better identify goals for themselves. She is direct, honest and wants to help people to feel better fast.
When Lauren is not working, she can be found walking her dog, watching the Real Housewives, or eating pizza.
Whether you’ve been personally affected by infidelity, I know you’re going to get a lot out of hearing this important interview.
