How to Handle Betrayal
Manage episode 492184836 series 3471680
🧠 You trusted them. And they weaponized it.
Betrayal isn’t just emotional. According to neuroscience, it affects your brain the same way physical pain does—and unless you process it, it keeps rewiring how you trust, relate, and show up.
In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explains the psychoneurobiology of betrayal, what it does to your mind-brain-body network, and how to reclaim your safety without denying your story.
📉 You’ll learn:
- Why betrayal pain lives in your brain and nervous system long after it’s over
- What happens when trust becomes a trauma loop
- The reason "moving on" doesn’t work without meaning-making
- A 3-part Trust Audit + Interoceptive Reset tool to calm your system
- How to rewire your brain through intentional micro-moments of safety
This episode is for the quiet grievers. The strong ones still carrying silent weight. The ones healing out loud—on their own terms.
🎧 Chapters include:
- 00:00 Introduction: The Impact of Betrayal
- 01:39 Understanding Betrayal and Its Effects
- 02:24 The Layers and Spread of Betrayal
- 03:05 The Mind-Body Connection in Betrayal
- 04:25 Healing and Reconceptualization
- 08:56 Practical Steps for Reclaiming Safety
- 12:45 Rebuilding Trust and Resilience
- 13:52 Conclusion and Resources
If betrayal has ever made you shrink your voice or doubt your worth, this conversation is a step toward remembering who you were before the wound—and rebuilding who you’re becoming after it.
