E3 - Betrayal Trauma: Navigating Grief After Infidelity

Grief after infidelity isn’t just about the loss of trust—it’s about mourning the relationship you thought you had.

In this powerful episode, we explore the hidden terrain of betrayal trauma grief and mourning that betrayed partners navigate as they continue their journey toward healing and wholeness. For many betrayed partners, the emotional pain is disorienting, isolating, and often invisible to others. And for unfaithful partners, understanding their Betrayed’s grief is essential if real healing is ever going to happen.

This episode will help you identify the stages of grief that follow betrayal, understand why they matter, and begin to make sense of your emotional landscape.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why grief is a normal and necessary response to betrayal trauma
• How mourning the loss of what you believed was true is part of healing
• What “ambiguous grief” is and what that means for your healing
• The ways unacknowledged grief can sabotage relational repair
• What both partners can do to make space for grieving without getting stuck
• How to begin healing in a way that honors—not bypasses—your pain
