Destructive Trickle Disclosures

*Get our FREE eBook⁠ “Is a Full Therapeutic Disclosure Right For Me?”⁠⁠ delivered straight to your inbox.⁠ Sign up here!⁠*

When your partner reveals information bit by bit instead of all at once, it's called trickle disclosure, and it's retraumatizing your body with every new revelation. 

This episode validates the exhausting cycle of partial truths and discoveries, explains why your nervous system can't stabilize in this chaos, and empowers you with concrete steps to protect yourself. You deserve full truth, not scattered pieces that keep you waiting for the other shoe to drop.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The difference between discovery and disclosure—and why it matters

  • How trickle disclosures keep your nervous system stuck in threat mode

  • Practical boundaries you can set to protect yourself and require full truth
