Episode notes
Deception Can Create PTSD‑Like Betrayal Trauma
- Deception in relationships creates betrayal trauma that mimics PTSD symptoms like brain fog and hypervigilance.
- Shawna explains that discovering deception flips a partner's world and causes profound disorientation and despair.
Stop Harm First, Then Verify Truth
- Stop the problematic sexual behavior and the struggling partner must accept responsibility before repair can start.
- Begin a recovery path and prioritize a therapeutically led disclosure to establish a truthful baseline.
Use Therapist‑Led Disclosures
- Use a therapeutically led disclosure rather than DIY confessions to avoid repeated questioning and re‑traumatization.
- Seek professionals who guide disclosure safely, especially with neurodiverse communication differences.
