🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses betrayal trauma, gaslighting, and infidelity as a system of psychological abuse.
Welcome to The Divorce Chapter.
In this eye-opening episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on Dr. Omar Minwalla’s concept of "The Secret Sexual Basement." If you’ve ever felt blindsided by betrayal, gaslit into doubting your own reality, or struggled to piece together what was actually real in your relationship….this episode is a MUST listen.
In This Episode, We Cover:
🔹 What The Secret Sexual Basement really is (hint: infidelity is not just about sex… it’s an entire system of deception).
🔹 The ten steps to understanding infidelity as a system of abuse.
🔹 How betrayal rewires your brain, body, and sense of reality.
🔹 The psychological fallout of discovery…. why it's more than just heartbreak.
🔹 How to rebuild trust in yourself after being deceived.
🔹 The societal collusion that enables and excuses deceptive sexuality.
🔹 Practical steps to reclaim your narrative, re-establish your reality, and reset your standards.

🎧 Listen now and remember: You are so much stronger than the secret basement. 💪
Loads of Love
