As you can appreciate, those sessions would not be an appropriate place for me to work through my feeling surrounding the OW. I also feel ashamed and guilty so I carry those feelings quietly. But nevertheless the feelings are quite intense...

maybe you should also do individual counselling to help you with that. you could do that either with your current counsellor or DB coach, or another counsellor.

I feel very much the same.

you might want to google "affair fog" and "PEAs". there are some very strong chemicals in your brain that are produced when a person is infatuated, and the effect is just like addiction.
