When it comes to betrayal, we often hear one story: the man cheats, the woman is hurt, and support rallies around her. But what happens when the script is flipped? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Adam Nisenson, a coach and author who helps men navigate betrayal trauma—a subject that’s rarely talked about and often misunderstood.

Adam shares his own experience of being betrayed, the cultural narratives that silence men in pain, and why so many men suffer in isolation. We explore how betrayal crushes identity, triggers deep ego wounds, and leaves men unsure of how to move forward.

This episode offers insight, language, and hope for betrayed men—and for those who love them.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Men are betrayed too—and they need space, language, and support to heal

✅ The stigma around male pain leads to silence, shame, and self-blame

✅ Performing, providing, and pretending don’t heal betrayal—they hide it

✅ Surrendering isn’t weakness—it’s the first step toward reclaiming your strength

✅ Healing after betrayal can lead to deeper self-respect, better boundaries, and healthier love
