After betrayal, the body remembers.
It remembers the sting of promises broken, the ache of being unseen, the tension that comes from wondering when the next hurt will arrive.
And even if your heart still wants connection, your nervous system may be saying, “Never again.”
In this episode, we explore what it means to heal after emotional trauma, when love feels more like a risk than a refuge.
We’ll gently unpack:
Why love feels unsafe after betrayal
The nervous system’s role in protecting you from future pain
How to know the difference between healthy caution and fear-based shutdown
Ways to begin feeling safe in your body, so love can find its way back in
If you’ve ever asked, “Will I ever feel safe to open my heart again?” this conversation is here to honour the grief, protect your pace, and remind you:
You don’t have to force love.
You just have to feel safe enough to receive it.
