In 2003, I experienced the worst pain I ever could have imagined, infidelity. It’s something I would not wish on my worst enemy. Going through the betrayal of infidelity, cheating, adultery, (whichever term suits your fancy) impacts your emotional well-being at its core. It challenged everything I thought I knew about me, my husband, and what I was doing as a woman to build my family.

While I thought I was secure in my identity, I quickly learned I had lost Katrina. I didn’t know who she was or what she loved to do. My self-esteem plummeted. Insecurity took over and before I knew it, I was hiding behind the mask of hurt and shame. All while being a “successful” leader in the corporate world, a collegiate student, and mother. I loved God, was faithful to my local church, and served others diligently. How could this happen to me? That thought plagued me ultimately magnifying trust issues. All of the glaring red flags became like duh? But how many of you know, hindsight is always 20/20?

Overcoming the hurt and pain of infidelity seems impossible, but I’m a living witness it can be done. Shame, hurt, guilt, bitterness, unforgiveness, nor anger are your portion. You don’t have to stay in “that” place. Inner healing is possible when you DO YOUR WORK. It’s an arduous process and ever ongoing, but my life today is infinitely better than it was even before I suffered the despair of infidelity. I have learned to forgive, rebuild trust, overcome barriers, recognize triggers, practice self-care, and implement boundaries to protect my well-being.

Today, I am HEALED and my marriage is RESTORED!! I have the honor and privilege of helping other women do their work so they too can walk in healing and wholeness. Let me help you along your healing journey. You too can transform the pain of cheating into a vibrant life of joy and peace.

I look forward to meeting you,

Dr. Katrina Esau
