Betrayal isn’t just about broken trust, it’s about identity. For many men, their sense of self is built on strength, control, and loyalty. But when infidelity happens, it doesn’t just hurt, it threatens everything they thought they knew about themselves.
In this episode, I explore the ego’s role in betrayal recovery, why the pain runs so deep, and how to shift from ego-driven reactions (anger, control, blame) to true healing. If you’ve ever felt like infidelity shattered who you are, this conversation is for you.
Key Takeaways:✔️ The male ego and how it shapes our response to betrayal.
✔️ Why infidelity often feels like an identity crisis, not just a relationship issue.
✔️ How ego-driven reactions (denial, control, revenge) keep you stuck.
✔️ Shifting from What does this say about me? to Who do I choose to be now?
✔️ Rebuilding self-trust and moving beyond external validation.
💬 Question for you: How has betrayal challenged your sense of identity?
