Navigating Triggers in Public Spaces:

Building Trust and Connection After Betrayal

 

In this the 50th episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis delve into the challenges couples face when navigating public spaces after betrayal. They explore how hypervigilance, triggers, and the history of betrayal influence interactions in environments like malls or restaurants. The discussion highlights practical strategies to help individuals and couples create "prepared plans" for these crucial moments, allowing them to build trust and connection instead of succumbing to defensiveness or disconnection.

Key topics include:  

- Recognizing triggers and fostering self-awareness.  

- The importance of empathy and validation in rebuilding trust.  
- Strategies for humanizing others and breaking free from objectification.  
- Tools for accountability and recovery when old patterns resurface.  
- The value of proper preparation to prevent conflict and foster connection.  

This episode provides actionable insights for couples and individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of recovery and strengthen their relationships in the aftermath of betrayal.
