Polygraphs should be considered a tool in the therapy process, not an end goal. Polygraphs are not meant to be a “Got ya!” tactic, but rather a tool to rebuild trust. You will work with your therapist to prepare a statement in writing.You will have plenty of time to go over this with your therapist until you feel comfortable. You will arrange a day to take the polygraph at a separate location in the examiner’s office. During a session, you, your partner, and your therapist will go over your results in a safe and therapeutic way.
