An unfiltered, yet thoughtful discussion of post infidelity stress disorder (PISD) from two mental heath professionals who just happen to be cousins. In this episode, we discuss infidelity, define post infidelity stress disorder, various ways to receive help, etc.
With PISD relationship partners of both genders may experience similar classical symptoms of PTSD:
· Repeated intrusive thoughts (constant thoughts of the infidelity, the who/why/what/when/where).
· Unstable emotional regulation (this feeling of going out of your mind, intense anger, intense sadness, etc.).
· Out of body experiences (dissociating from things to get through your day, feeling not present and day dreaming, etc).
· Alternating between feeling numb and striking out in retaliation.
· Inability to stop scanning for any new data that might cause more distress.
· Feeling overwhelmingly powerless and broken.
· Needing to regain self-worth by assigning blame (whether it is your partner, the other person(s) involved, etc).
· Confusion and disorientation (just a feeling of not understanding how it could happen, how you could not know, etc,.
