In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explains the psychoneurobiology of betrayal, what it does to your mind-brain-body network, and how to reclaim your safety without denying your story. 📉 You’ll learn: Why betrayal pain lives in your brain and nervous system long after it’s over What happens when trust becomes a trauma loop The reason "moving on" doesn’t work without meaning-making A 3-part Trust Audit + Interoceptive Reset tool to calm your system How to rewire your brain through intentional micro-moments of safety This episode is for the quiet grievers.
