Recovering From Betrayal

What happens after trust is broken — and can a relationship ever truly recover? In this episode of Might Get Loud, Brittany sits down with Mr. Jay, a betrayal trauma practitioner and relationship coach who helps individuals and couples navigate the aftermath of broken trust. And betrayal isn't just cheating. It can show up through financial secrets, dishonesty, broken trust within families, emotional wounds, and even experiences from childhood that we carry into our adult relationships without realizing it. Mr. Jay breaks down why betrayal trauma can feel so consuming, how our brains respond to triggers, and why he believes the goal isn't necessarily to “get over it,” but to learn how to integrate what happened and move forward without allowing it to control your life. They also get into the other side of relationships: rebuilding trust, understanding your own insecurities, attachment styles, complacency, intimacy beyond sex, and why some couples actually end up stronger and more connected after working through betrayal. Mr. Jay also shares practical tools he uses with clients experiencing triggers and explains why rebuilding after betrayal isn't about pretending it never happened — it's about understanding what happened, doing the individual work, and deciding what comes next. Whether you've experienced betrayal yourself, are trying to rebuild a relationship, or simply want to understand your own patterns a little better, this conversation has a LOT to unpack.
