š§ You trusted them. And they weaponized it.
Betrayal isnāt just emotional. According to neuroscience, it affects your brain the same way physical pain doesāand 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.
š Youāll learn:
- Why betrayal pain lives in your brain and nervous system long after itās over
- What happens when trust becomes a trauma loop
- The reason "moving on" doesnāt 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 loudāon their own terms.
