Episode Description

What happens when men are the ones betrayed by sex addiction?

In today's episode, author and therapist Adam Nisenson joins the Dan Drake, Wendy Conquest, Tim Stein and Jeanne Vattoune to unpack a topic rarely discussed — male betrayal trauma. Through his book A Man’s Guide to Partner Betrayal, Adam gives voice to men who’ve been silenced, shamed, or overlooked in conversations about infidelity and healing.

Together, the panel explores:
- Why betrayal hits men differently and how society teaches them to hide it
- The impact of shame, ego wounds, and emotional isolation
- How unprocessed anger and silence can turn into long-term pain
- Practical ways men can heal and reclaim their worth after betrayal
