Why People Cheat, How To Heal: Betrayal, Addiction & Rebuilding Trust

— Today we’re diving deep into betrayal, infidelity, and the emotional aftermath. Why do people cheat—even when they love their partner? What drives repeated cheating or secret behavior? And most importantly, how can couples heal after trust is broken?

Valeria interviews Nicola Beer, a relationship and trauma therapist with over 20 years of experience helping couples and individuals navigate infidelity recovery. Nicola believes that cheating is often a coping mechanism—sometimes even an addiction—and that full recovery is absolutely possible when both people are committed. Today she’ll walk us through what really happens emotionally, psychologically, and relationally after betrayal—and how to heal from it.

Nicola Beer is also a psychedelic retreat facilitator. She blends sacred plant medicine (primarily Huachuma/San Pedro), somatic therapy, and conscious relationship work to help individuals and couples heal emotional wounds, release stored pain, and reconnect to their inner truth. Nicola runs private healing retreats in Southeast Asia and hosts two podcast shows: Healing with Psychedelics and Relationship Revival. Her work focuses on turning trauma into transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
