Ep. 21: Triggers – When the Smallest Things Wreck You

You’re having a good day, until a song, a smell, a look, or a text sends you spiraling. That’s not weakness. That’s trauma. In this episode, Adam Nisenson, The Betrayal Shrink, takes you deep into the experience of betrayal triggers, those sudden, overwhelming reactions that hijack your body and mind.

Adam explains why these triggers happen, how they bypass logic, and what’s actually going on in your nervous system. More importantly, he gives you the tools to respond with clarity instead of collapse. From grounding techniques to trigger planning, this episode walks you through how to build resilience, regulate your body, and stop feeling like you're losing your mind every time the past sneaks up.

If betrayal has left you jumpy, reactive, or confused by how intense your emotional responses have become, this episode will help you understand your body’s signals, and respond with power instead of panic.
