When your partner has sex with someone else, it’s not just cheating, it’s a full-body trauma. In this episode, Adam Nisenson, The Betrayal Shrink, dives deep into the devastation of sexual betrayal and why it hits men at the core of their identity, masculinity, and sense of safety.

This isn’t just about trust being broken, it’s about your body feeling violated, your sexuality becoming a source of shame, and your mind getting hijacked by unwanted images and obsessive comparisons. Adam names what most men are too ashamed to admit out loud: the humiliation, the shutdown, the arousal confusion, the rage, and the haunting question, "Was I not enough?"

This episode helps you understand why your reactions make perfect sense, why you’re not broken, and what it takes to slowly rebuild safety with yourself, before anything or anyone else. It’s honest, unfiltered, and a powerful reminder: your pain is real, your body matters, and healing is absolutely possible.
