Betrayal cuts deep. Whether you're the one who strayed or the one left reeling from a partner's infidelity, that moment fractures everything you thought you knew about your relationship. But here's the truth many don't want to acknowledge: recovery isn't just possible—it happens more often than you might think.

This episode dives straight into the messy, painful process of rebuilding trust after infidelity. We explore why it's typically not the cheating itself that destroys relationships, but the dishonesty that follows. Research consistently shows that post-betrayal healing hinges on radical transparency from the unfaithful partner—what Dr. Shirley Glass calls bringing down walls and opening windows between partners.

We break down the practical steps that successful couples take: establishing a six-month period of complete honesty, understanding the neurobiological impacts of betrayal through predictive coding, and becoming "boringly reliable" to create safety. You'll learn why couples therapy provides crucial structure during this vulnerable time, helping both partners explore not just what happened, but the underlying why. Most importantly, we discuss why rebuilding trust isn't about restoring what was, but co-creating something entirely new—a relationship where both partners feel truly seen and secure.

Whether you're currently navigating the aftermath of infidelity or supporting someone who is, this episode offers science-backed guidance without judgment or platitudes. Recovery takes time (typically 18-24 months), consistent effort, and the courage to be honest—not just with your partner, but with yourself. Come join me online to continue the conversation about creating healthier relationships through understanding, compassion, and truth.
