There’s a lot of pressure out there for men to be the “bigger person,” to let it go, to forgive fast, even when the pain is fresh and the betrayal still bleeds. In this episode, Adam Nisenson, The Betrayal Shrink, speaks directly to men who are being pushed to forgive before they’re ready. This conversation dismantles the myth that forgiveness is a requirement for healing and exposes how premature forgiveness can be a form of trauma bypass. You’ll learn why anger, hurt, and boundaries matter, how real healing is separate from reconciliation, and why forgiveness without accountability can feel like a second betrayal. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not being ready to forgive, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move at your own pace, honor your emotions, and reclaim your power on your terms.
