SUSPICIONS OF CHEATING (FIDELITY)

We have conducted hundreds of exams for personal clients on personal issues such as:

Relationship Issues
Wanting to prove one's innocence
Strange Behavior
Internet, Cell Phone, Phone App issues
Background history and secrets
Romantic issues
Sexual or dangerous behaviors
and much more

We specialize in infidelity and personal relationship testing. We understand that a relationship must be built upon trust and if that trust comes into question, problems will arise within the relationship. A relationship cannot thrive or grow until all the issues or concerns are addressed and the truth is made known.

When conducting infidelity and personal relationship testing, we encourage both parties to discuss the issue with the examiner so the examiner can suggest a set of questions to be asked during the exam. We understand that at times one party may not want to participate in the discussion and that's ok. If you would rather take a confidential exam without the other party knowing, that is your option. All exams are strictly confidential and no information will be released to anyone without the examinee's written consent. it here.

THERAPEUTIC POLYGRAPH EXAMS

Polygraph tests in therapy serve as valuable tools to enhance honesty, accountability, and trust in various therapeutic settings. They are used to establish an initial baseline of truthfulness at the start of treatment, helping both clients and therapists understand the level of honesty and set expectations. Periodic testing throughout therapy allows for ongoing verification that clients are following treatment guidelines and maintaining honesty, which can help build trust with partners and support transparency.

In cases involving relationship issues, especially infidelity, Therapeutic Disclosure Testing (TDT) uses polygraphs to verify the accuracy and completeness of disclosures made by unfaithful partners. This process is typically voluntary and guided by a therapist, aiming to rebuild trust and facilitate healing. Polygraphs can also support relapse prevention by acting as a deterrent against high-risk behaviors, encouraging clients to stay committed to honesty.

Beyond relationship issues, polygraph tests can help clients with addiction by revealing the full extent of their behaviors, which is a critical step in recovery. They can also be used to explore sensitive topics like sexual history, providing deeper insights that might not surface through conventional therapy alone. Overall, when used appropriately, polygraph testing can strengthen therapeutic outcomes by promoting transparency, accountability, and trust-building between clients and their partners or therapists.

We take time with each of our clients properly preparing them for the examination. Polygraph test Baton Rouge (polygraph test near me) and in Gonzales.
