Love, Lies and Affairs with Juliet Rosenfeld

Why do people risk everything for an affair? What lies beneath the secrecy, the shame—and the thrill?

Psychoanalytic psychotherapist Juliet Rosenfeld brings the hidden world of infidelity into the open through five compelling true stories drawn from her clinical practice and research. We meet a man who slipped away from his wife’s hospital bedside to visit his much younger lover, a respected psychologist who fell for a patient, a surgeon who risked everything for someone he’d only ever spoken to online, a woman whose affair with a female colleague reshaped her understanding of love and identity, and a cleaner who found unexpected intimacy in the margins of her working life.

Blending raw personal accounts with deep psychological insight, Affairs is a fearless, compassionate exploration of the desires and decisions that shape—and sometimes upend—our closest relationships. This is a rare chance to hear Juliet unpack the emotional truths behind some of our most private choices.
