Why do I push my spouse away after infidelity—even when I want connection? If you feel stuck in a push-pull cycle after betrayal, this episode will explain why.
After infidelity, many betrayed spouses experience a confusing pattern: longing for closeness but instinctively pulling away. In this episode, Lisa breaks down the neuroscience behind avoidance as a trauma response, explaining how your brain is trying to protect you—not sabotage your marriage.
You’ll learn: ✔️ Why avoidance is a normal trauma response after betrayal ✔️ What’s happening in your brain and nervous system ✔️ The difference between guarding your heart and shutting down ✔️ How to begin rebuilding connection safely
This episode integrates biblical truth with trauma-informed neuroscience to help you move from protection to healing.
