Can you ever fully trust someone again after cheating? After infidelity, many people feel trapped between wanting to heal and feeling like their body will never feel safe again. In this episode of The ANTD Podcast, Amee and D. Widders break down what trust actually looks like after betrayal, why pre-betrayal trust is gone for good, and how real healing begins after cheating. We talk openly about betrayal trauma, hypervigilance, panic, and the physical toll infidelity takes on the nervous system.

If you’re struggling with rebuilding trust after cheating, this episode will change how you think about recovery. You’ll learn why trust isn’t restored—it’s rebuilt through consistency, transparency, boundaries, and emotional safety. Whether you’re the one who was betrayed or the one who cheated, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and real tools for infidelity recovery. Healing after betrayal is possible—and your relationship can become stronger than it ever was before.
