As someone who has had multiple heartbreaks due to past partners\u2019 infidelity, I can say from experience that it\u2019s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it\u2019s your fault that you\u2019ve been cheated on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense that you\u2019d feel that way. Cheating can seriously harm your self-esteem and leave you <a href=\"https:\/\/ritubhasin.com\/blog\/how-i-found-love-in-an-unexpected-place\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feeling broken<\/a>, but there is a way to move on, improve your romantic relationships, and find the love you deeply desire. One person who has led me to this realization is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.estherperel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Esther Perel<\/a>, a globally renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert, whose work I strongly recommend checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esther, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/esther_perel_rethinking_infidelity_a_talk_for_anyone_who_has_ever_loved?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TED Talk<\/a> on rethinking infidelity has been watched over ten million times, is my favorite source for romantic advice and wisdom. I\u2019ve read both her books and I devour her articles, listen to her podcasts, and watch her videos. I can\u2019t get enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key things I\u2019ve learned from Esther\u2019s work \u2014 and one of the things that ultimately helped me heal from the heartbreak of infidelity \u2014 is that when my past partners cheated, it wasn\u2019t about me being a bad person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this video to find out how I healed by reframing what I thought I knew about infidelity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Have you ever been cheated on?
