Betrayal Trauma Q&A: Your Top 5 Questions Answered

Why do triggers still show up years later, even when your partner is doing everything right? Why does numbness replace anger? And why do some betrayed partners feel pulled to please the very person who hurt them? In this Q&A episode, Caleb and Verlynda answer five of the most common and confusing questions that arise after betrayal. They explain how betrayal trauma affects the nervous system, why the brain remembers danger longer than safety, and why healing doesn’t happen automatically with time or changed behavior alone. You’ll learn why emotional numbness is often a freeze response rather than a loss of love, how the brain can heal through neuroplasticity, and why trauma-informed therapy is often necessary for triggers to truly calm. Caleb and Verlynda also address why triggers feel reflexive instead of controllable, how to explain this to a defensive partner, and why people sometimes slip into appeasing or people-pleasing behaviors as a survival response. This episode offers clarity, self-compassion, and reassurance for anyone questioning their reactions or judging themselves for how they’re coping. If you’re struggling with lingering triggers, emotional numbness, or confusing survival responses after betrayal, then this episode is for you. ==   Struggling with relationships, trauma, or addictions?   You don’t have to do it alone.
