FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASERewriting the Betrayal Story: Healing, Trust, and Reconnection After InfidelityNationwide – December 30, 2024 (USANews.com) – BOULDER, CO – People Not Problems, a therapy practice founded by David Lieberman, is carving a unique path in helping individuals and couples navigate the aftermath of infidelity. With a focus on systemic, narrative, and experiential therapy, the practice offers a compassionate approach to healing, rebuilding trust, and fostering transformational change.
Infidelity often leaves couples at a crossroads, questioning the foundations of their relationship and their future together. At People Not Problems, this pivotal moment is seen not as an endpoint but as an opportunity to reimagine the relationship and create a more thriving dynamic. The practice specializes in guiding clients through this complex process, offering tools and strategies tailored to their unique needs.
“Healing from infidelity, like learning to ride a bike again, isn’t about being told how to fix it—it’s about finding your balance, believing in yourself and each other, and experiencing a new way forward,” says Lieberman. His philosophy emphasizes that betrayal, while deeply painful, can serve as a catalyst for growth and transformation, both individually and relationally.
A Transformational Process
The practice's approach goes beyond traditional therapy models, focusing on uncovering the deeper relational patterns that contributed to the betrayal. By addressing these dynamics, couples can work toward a more authentic and connected partnership. Lieberman integrates systemic thinking to explore the broader contexts of clients’ lives and relationships, helping them understand the underlying influences on their experiences.
Narrative therapy plays a central role in this process. Clients are encouraged to re-author their personal and relational stories, shifting the focus from pain and blame to possibility and growth. Lieberman also incorporates experiential techniques, inviting clients to engage emotionally and somatically with their experiences, often leading to profound insights and lasting change.
“Infidelity, while deeply challenging, can mark the beginning of a journey toward a more authentic, grounded, and connected relationship,” Lieberman explains.
Empowering Clients to Choose
Recognizing that every individual and relationship is unique, People Not Problems fosters autonomy and agency in its clients. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for couples to decide whether to rebuild their relationship or move forward independently. This process includes creating experiences that nurture trust and vulnerability, essential components for healing.
“Trust isn’t something you rebuild by force—it’s created through shared experiences of honesty, vulnerability, and effort,” says Lieberman.
The practice also supports individuals grappling with the personal aftermath of betrayal. For many, infidelity shakes their sense of identity and self-worth. Lieberman’s approach helps clients reconnect with their inner strengths and explore new possibilities for their future.
“Betrayal shakes your sense of self. Therapy helps you reconnect with your worth and reimagine what’s possible for your future,” he notes.
Why People Not Problems Stands Out
Several aspects distinguish People Not Problems from other therapy practices. Lieberman’s systemic approach extends beyond addressing immediate issues, delving into the relational and societal factors that shape clients’ lives. This comprehensive perspective allows for deeper and more meaningful transformations.
Additionally, the practice embraces flexibility, offering weekend availability to accommodate the busy lives of clients. By operating as a private pay practice, People Not Problems ensures a curated, confidential, and highly personalized therapeutic experience.
Lieberman’s unique blend of professional and personal experiences further enhances his practice. With an MBA from the Ross School of Business, he connects with high-achieving professionals and understands the challenges they face. His approach resonates strongly with clients seeking to balance external pressures with inner growth.
Tackling Stigmatized ChallengesPeople Not Problems addresses topics often considered difficult or stigmatized, such as infidelity, suicidal ideation, and complex identity dynamics. Lieberman creates a nonjudgmental space for clients exploring these areas, ensuring their experiences are met with respect and curiosity.
The practice also offers support for those navigating consensual non-monogamy (CNM), polyamory, and other nontraditional relational structures. This openness reflects a commitment to inclusivity and a deep understanding of diverse relationship dynamics.
A Vision for Growth
Lieberman’s vision for People Not Problems is rooted in the belief that therapy should empower clients to create meaningful change. The practice prioritizes second-order change, which goes beyond surface-level adjustments to fundamentally shift how clients relate to themselves and others.
“We see infidelity as a pivotal moment—a chance for transformation, healing, and reimagining what the relationship can be,” says Lieberman.
With a compassionate and innovative approach, People Not Problems continues to be a trusted resource for individuals and couples seeking to heal and rebuild after betrayal.
