Why the Betrayer Shuts Down: The Shame Collapse Behind the Silence

If you have gone completely blank while your partner asked questions about what you did, this episode is for you. Caleb and Verlynda break down what is actually happening in your nervous system in that moment, why toxic shame collapses you while guilt moves you toward repair, and what your silence lands as on the other side of the room. You will also get three concrete things to do in the moment so you can stay present, plus the difference between a real pause and stonewalling. https://therapevo.com/help-for-the-betrayer/?utm_source=podcast
