68. Reward or Punishment: Rewriting Our Reward System After an Affair


Listen Later

Join me, Luke Shillings in this eye-opening episode of the After the Affair podcast.

Dive deep into the complexities of how betrayal in relationships clashes with our inherent human reward system. This episode explores the psychological underpinnings of trust and the profound impact of its breach, drawing connections to our natural drive for rewards and aversion to discomfort.

Discover why betrayal feels so intensely painful and learn how this relates to the fundamental workings of our brain's reward system, as previously discussed in the episode on The Motivational Triad. I aim to provide insightful analysis and empathetic understanding, making complex psychological concepts accessible and relevant to everyday experiences.

The discussion then transitions into practical, actionable strategies for healing and rebuilding trust post-betrayal. Learn how to reorient your reward system, find internal sources of validation, and embrace new pathways to joy and fulfillment.

The After the Affair podcast continues to offer supportive tips, innovative perspectives, and effective concepts for navigating the emotional terrain of infidelity recovery.


Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of betrayal or simply interested in the psychological aspects of trust and reward, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to begin your journey towards empowerment and healing in the wake of betrayal.
