Podcasts about Infidelity

In this episode (338), we explore a new but increasingly common form of betrayal: porn addiction escalating into AI-generated sexual fantasy, including the use of a partner's image or likeness as the “character” in altered images, videos, or written sexual scenarios. The betrayed partner who wrote in described a long marriage marked by hidden pornography, years of sexual disconnection, fantasy-based online behavior, and now AI-created sexual content involving her own image. We make it clear that this does not become intimacy simply because the partner's image is involved. If the behavior is rooted in secrecy, objectification, fantasy, comparison, escape, and compulsive sexual gratification, then it remains part of the addiction cycle.We explain that AI has become a powerful new playground for the addict brain because it offers endless novelty, personalization, and control. The limbic system, which seeks pleasure and avoids pain, can rationalize almost anything when addiction is active. An addict may tell himself, “It's my wife, so it's okay,” or “This is better than traditional porn,” but those rationalizations miss the deeper reality. Using a partner's likeness in AI fantasy without true relational connection and consent is not healing; it can actually amplify betrayal trauma by turning the partner into an object inside the addiction system. We also challenge the idea that “AI therapy,” cold turkey, or private willpower can resolve a decades-long compulsive sexual pattern.The path forward requires both clarity and courage. The betrayed partner cannot choose recovery for the addict, but she can choose strong boundaries, outside support, betrayal-trauma healing, and a life that is not dependent on whether he finally “gets it.” The addict, meanwhile, must stop trying to do recovery on his own terms and seek real help—professional intervention, group support, daily accountability, transparency, sobriety boundaries, and long-term lifestyle change. AI may be the newest form of synthetic sexual escape, but the solution remains the same: real recovery, real accountability, real repair, and a return to authentic human connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  When Porn Addiction Evolves into AI Fantasy Using the Partner as the “Character”Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K.

Dating apps and social media didn't invent infidelity, but they changed its mechanics, its speed, and its emotional architecture. This episode breaks down the psychology behind digital temptation, from dopamine-driven novelty-seeking to the rise of “micro-cheating” in DMs and comment sections. We explore why technology lowered the barriers to betrayal while making detection both easier and harder than ever before.

From Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we've watched family rifts play out publicly. But behind the headlines is a dilemma many people face in their own lives: what happens when the person you love doesn't fit into the family you come from? This week, Kate Langbroek sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel to discuss one of the most emotionally complicated tensions of adulthood — choosing your partner while trying to maintain your relationship with your family. Why do some parents struggle to accept their child's partner? Why can falling in love feel like betrayal? And when family conflict erupts, how do you protect your relationship without losing the people who raised you? Together, Kate and Esther unpack family estrangement, difficult in-laws, loyalty, intimacy, and the relationship patterns we inherit from our parents — and whether it's possible to build a marriage that looks different from the one we grew up with.

Episode 17: Relationships: Infidelity In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) tackle one of the most uncomfortable and emotionally charged topics in relationships: infidelity. Drawing from personal experiences, professional perspectives, and years of navigating marriage, friendship, and life's challenges, Emily and Katie explore what happens when trust is broken. They discuss the differences between emotional and physical cheating, whether friends should reveal what they know, and the lasting impact betrayal can have on relationships and self-worth. The conversation also examines why people stray, the role of trauma and unmet needs, and whether relationships can truly recover after trust has been shattered. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of communication, accountability, and understanding the human emotions behind difficult choices. As always, this discussion is not about judgment. It is about creating space for honest conversations, exploring different perspectives, and helping listeners feel less alone in the experiences they may be facing.

She spent years on the inside of the sex industry, and now she coaches men who are trying to build real relationships with women who work in it or came from it. In this episode, we start by talking about why men cheat, what they look for in escorts, how they open up to escorts, and how some escorts can become their friends. We discuss sexual and emotional infidelity, and whether couples can get over infidelity. We talk about when and why escorts fall in love with their clients, and when men fall in love with escorts. We discuss how men feel valued by their partners, what makes for solid relationships, and the importance of presence, emotional support, and communication. Finally, we discuss what the deepest form of intimacy is.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

We dig into surprising data from decades of surveys on infidelity — which groups actually cheat more, how age, race, religion, and money shape behavior, and what it all really means for relationships. Forget the stereotypes; here's what the numbers actually show. Honest, no-BS talk about one of the most common — and painful — realities in modern life.

What Are You Under the Influence Of? How Fear, Trauma & Other People's Opinions Keep You Stuck After Betrayal After betrayal, everyone seems to have advice. Leave. Stay. Fight for your marriage. Run. Forgive. Never trust again. But when your nervous system is overwhelmed, it's easy to absorb other people's certainty instead of listening to your own truth. In this episode, Lora explores how betrayal trauma increases suggestibility, why fear spreads so quickly, and how to reclaim your ability to think clearly, trust yourself, and make decisions from wisdom rather than panic. Drawing from her experience as an attorney, clinical hypnotherapist, and betrayal recovery coach, Lora explains why knowledge reduces fear, how hypnosis can help break the trance of trauma, and why discernment—not certainty—is the real path to healing. If you've ever wondered whether you're making decisions based on your own truth or someone else's story, this episode is for you. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal Trauma Makes You More Suggestible. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your brain naturally seeks certainty. That's why it's easy to absorb other people's opinions, fears, and experiences instead of trusting yourself. Discernment Is Different Than Fear. Fear demands immediate answers. Discernment allows reality to reveal itself over time. Healing isn't about becoming hypervigilant—it's about staying connected to yourself while the truth unfolds. Knowledge Creates Calm. Understanding your legal, financial, emotional, and relational options doesn't force a decision. It reduces fear, increases clarity, and helps you make choices from a place of confidence rather than panic. Favorite Quotes "When we're desperate for certainty, we start borrowing certainty from other people." "Discernment is the ability to stay connected to yourself while reality reveals itself." "Fear shrinks your world. Knowledge expands it." "Healing isn't about becoming fearless. It's about learning how to hear yourself again underneath the noise." LOVE THE SHOW?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Mystic Millionaire, I sit down with author, spiritual teacher, and podcast host Jaclyn Shaw for a conversation that will move you to your core. Jaclyn opens up about the raw journey behind her spiritual memoir Spiritual Smackdown, from being blindsided by infidelity while three months pregnant, to choosing to honor the quiet truth of her soul over the noise of her circumstances. We go deep into what it truly means to trust yourself when everything around you is falling apart, how forgiveness became a choice rather than something earned, and why speaking your truth is the ultimate act of liberation. We get into her unapologetic relationship with God and how following soul nudges led her to walk away from half a million dollar contracts in full faith. This episode is raw, real, and deeply spiritual and I trust it will land exactly where it needs to. If you are ready to stop giving your power away and finally live in the full truth of who you are, this one is for you.Follow Jaclyn Shaw here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jaclynshaw/ Website: https://jaclynshaw.ca/Check her book, Spiritual Smackdown, hereAmazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1998721213Amazon USA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1998721213Slow down to speed up.

This episode (336) explores the painful and complicated reality of a young betrayed partner who is trying to recover from betrayal trauma while also carrying childhood trauma and her own history with porn/sex addiction. We begin by validating the sheer complexity of her situation and making clear that she is not crazy, cursed, or hopelessly broken. When betrayal trauma, early trauma, and addiction collide, each one can intensify the others, making the internal experience feel overwhelming and chaotic. At the same time, we explain that these are not necessarily three unrelated problems requiring three separate full-time recoveries. Instead, they are often connected parts of one larger system that needs an integrated healing plan.A central message of the article is that trauma and addiction cannot be treated only at the level of symptoms. Betrayal trauma responses are often attempts to find safety, truth, and protection from further harm. Childhood trauma responses may be old survival strategies that once helped a person endure neglect, abuse, or instability. Addiction often develops as a way to numb, escape, regulate, or cope with overwhelming emotional pain. Using the lens of Internal Family Systems, we describe how wounded parts and protective parts can drive behaviors that may look irrational, destructive, or confusing on the surface, but actually have a deeper protective logic underneath. Reasons are never excuses, but understanding those reasons gives individuals and couples a better map for healing.The article also emphasizes that this partner's own addiction does not cancel out her betrayal pain, and her betrayal trauma does not excuse her own addictive behaviors. Both realities must be held together with honesty, compassion, accountability, and boundaries. We encourage her to begin not by trying to fix everything at once, but by stabilizing her nervous system, building support outside the relationship, stopping ongoing harm, and creating a paced recovery plan. If the relationship itself is constantly destabilizing, a structured break or carefully defined boundaries may be helpful, but only with clear purpose, goals, support, and re-evaluation. Ultimately, the message is one of hope: this situation is complex, but not hopeless; layered, but not impossible; and genuine healing can begin one courageous, supported step at a time.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Betrayal Trauma, Childhood Trauma & My Own Addiction—Where Do I Even Start?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Send us Fan MailI wish someone had warned me about this after betrayal.Not about cheaters. Not about red flags. Not about whether to stay or leave. But about what betrayal was going to reveal about me.In this episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we go beyond the surface of betrayal and into something much deeper:The moment you realize you may have been betraying yourself long before anyone else did.This is not about blame. This is about power.Because the most painful part of betrayal is not just what someone else did — it's recognizing how often you ignored your own voice, your intuition, your needs… just to keep things stable.In this episode, Dimple explores: • How self-betrayal begins long before external betrayal • The subtle ways women override their intuition and truth • Why ignoring discomfort disconnects you from yourself • The difference between awareness and self-blame • How to rebuild self-trust after betrayalAnd most importantly, the shift that changes everything:This moment is not asking you to focus on them. It's asking you to come back to yourself.You'll walk away with three powerful internal declarations: • I will no longer ignore my body • I will trust discomfort as information • I will not silence my truth to keep the peaceThis episode is for you if: • You've ever doubted your intuition after betrayal • You ignored red flags and are now questioning yourself • You're ready to rebuild self-trust without self-blameHere's the truth: Your betrayal didn't happen because you weren't enough. It happened because you were disconnected from yourself.And this is where everything changes.Follow Dimple Bindra here!✨ Not sure why you keep choosing pain over peace? Take the free WHY YOU GOT BETRAYED QUIZ and uncover the pattern you didn't even know was holding you back.If you can't eat, can't sleep, and keep replaying the betrayal in your head, this book was written for this exact moment.

Send us Fan MailClosure after betrayal sounds like the answer, but it can quietly become the thing that keeps you trapped. If you've been waiting for the full truth, the perfect apology, or the one missing detail that will finally make an affair make sense, you're not alone and you're not broken. I'm Jen, a life coach who helps people heal after infidelity and divorce, and I want to offer a different path when closure isn't available.We talk about why the brain craves certainty after betrayal trauma and how that “need to know” can turn into an endless loop of rumination. I share a simple way to think about it: trying to solve a puzzle when most of the pieces are missing. The result is frustration, dysregulation, and feeling emotionally tied to the person who hurt you. Instead of outsourcing your healing, we shift toward coherence, an internal understanding that helps your mind and body settle even without every answer.You'll hear practical examples of closure thinking versus coherence thinking, plus how coherence supports nervous system regulation, brings your clear “CEO brain” back online, and helps you rebuild self-trust. We also walk through first steps like acceptance, naming the impact, letting go of detail chasing, and choosing boundaries that create real internal safety.If you're ready to stop suffering while you wait for someone else to give you peace, listen now, then subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find this support.Please follow me on instagram and facebook @happilyevenaftercoach and if you want to see what coaching is all about I offer a free 30 min. clarity call via zoom.

What does cheating actually do to the person doing it?Most conversations about infidelity focus on the betrayed partner — and for good reason. But in this episode, Todd Creager turns the lens inward, looking at what happens inside the body and mind of the person having the affair. It's part of his ongoing series on how cheating cheats the cheater, and this episode zeroes in on something rarely talked about: the physiological cost of living a secret.Using the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd walks through how our protective parts operate when deep wounds go unaddressed. The "firefighter" part acts out — in this case, through an affair — as a way to escape pain. The guilt and self-attack that follow? That's the "manager" part doing its job. The result is an internal system at war with itself. The body pays the price.What does that look like in practice? A stress cycle that doesn't stop. The adrenaline of secrecy. The cortisol of shame. For most people — not sociopaths, as Todd plainly notes — this creates a chronic internal conflict that quietly drains physical and emotional wellbeing. Infidelity recovery starts with recognizing that the affair was never really about the other person. It was a response to pain that never got the attention it needed.The path out, Todd explains, isn't more self-punishment. It's actually getting honest — with yourself, with a professional, and eventually with your partner if reconciliation is part of the picture. When the wound beneath the behavior gets real attention, real healing becomes possible. Todd has seen it happen, over and over, in his 30+ years working with couples.This episode is for anyone who has been on either side of betrayal, or who suspects there's more going on beneath the surface of the choices they've been making.If you're ready to stop the internal war and work toward actual peace — in your body, your relationship, and yourself — Todd's work is a good place to start.

Will I Ever Feel Normal Again After Betrayal? One of the most common questions women ask after betrayal is: “Will I ever feel like myself again?” Because betrayal trauma and infidelity don't just break your heart — they disrupt your nervous system, your identity, your sense of safety, your routines, and even your perception of reality. In this honest and deeply grounding episode, Lora shares what healing after betrayal actually looks like — not the polished Instagram version, but the real, nuanced, nonlinear truth of nervous system recovery, emotional healing, and rebuilding self-trust after infidelity. She explores: why betrayal feels so destabilizing what trauma does to the brain and body why healing is quieter and more subtle than most people expect the real signs you're healing how to stop losing yourself in someone else's healing why peace eventually matters more than certainty what it truly means to stay true to yourself after betrayal This episode is compassionate, practical, validating, and full of the kind of honest insight women desperately need when they wonder if they'll ever feel okay again. Top 3 Takeaways Healing after betrayal is not about “never being triggered again” — it's about building the capacity to feel, regulate, recover, and stay connected to yourself. One of the biggest signs of healing is when betrayal stops being the center of your identity and you begin caring about your future again. Real healing is often quiet and gradual: sleeping through the night, laughing unexpectedly, trusting yourself faster, and choosing peace over constant certainty.

When most people think about BDSM, they think about ropes, floggers, masks, and play. But according to Joshua Rodriguez, those things are just tools. Joshua is the co-founder of The Kink Collective, creator of The Liberated Man, and a longtime educator in the BDSM and power exchange communities. In this conversation, we go far beyond kink and explore the deeper topics that often drive people toward these spaces in the first place. Joshua shares his personal journey through anger, infidelity, shame, late-diagnosed ADHD, and the lessons that ultimately transformed his understanding of relationships, leadership, and personal responsibility. In This Episode 00:02 – Joshua's personal story: growing up, fatherhood, the Marines, family court, and the anger that shaped his early life 05:00 – Infidelity, being "canceled," and the hard lessons that forced him to confront his own behavior 08:30 – Why swinging wasn't the right fit for him and what drew him toward BDSM and leather culture 12:20 – ADHD, late diagnosis, hyperfocus, hypersexuality, and the surprising gifts hidden inside neurodivergence 16:40 – Structure vs. party culture: how swinging and kink communities are evolving 20:00 – BDSM, kink, and leather explained: the differences most people misunderstand 24:00 – Why kink communities aren't necessarily healthier than swinger communities 28:00 – The St. Andrew's Cross, scene building, and why mindset matters more than toys 32:00 – The biggest mistake newcomers make when entering BDSM spaces 35:00 – When kink becomes healing, coping, connection, or self-destruction 37:00 – Should everyone be practicing BDSM? Joshua's controversial take on emotional maturity and readiness 39:00 – Is power exchange really about control, or is it about trust? 41:30 – Dominance versus domineering and what healthy leadership actually looks like 44:00 – Codependency, unhealthy dynamics, and red flags to watch for in BDSM relationships 45:30 – Green flags, red flags, vulnerability versus trauma dumping, and how healthy connections are built Whether you're deeply involved in kink, curious about BDSM, or simply interested in becoming a better partner, this episode offers an honest look at power, vulnerability, trust, and what it really means to lead and be led.

In this episode Tracy talks with two OBGYNs -- Dr. Leyla Moossavi and Dr. Diane Traenkle -- about what it's like to be on the front lines of women's health when dealing with infidelity. Having to break the news to someone that she's tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease is not a topic covered in medical school. They shoot straight about the health risks of being cheated on. Everything from the loss of her fertility to even maternal and fetal death if a woman is unknowingly exposed to infection while pregnant. Drs. Moossavi and Traenkle, who practice in rural Michigan, also discuss the overlap they've seen between cheating and domestic violence -- the men who insist on being in the doctor's office, who gaslight and threaten their partners after a positive STI test, and who even insist that their partners stop receiving healthcare. On a more compassionate note, Dr. Moossavi and Dr. Traenkle also discuss what good care looks like after you've been cheated on -- zero shame and lots of self love.

Step into a raw, delicious and love-affirming conversation with Jenn Pinkerton, psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, relationship expert, and host of the Red Head Reveal Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Jenn's work centers around one powerful truth: we are wired for connection, yet so many people are living in profound disconnection from themselves, their relationships, and their deepest desires. I agree! Jenn shares her personal journey through grief, abandonment, and identity after losing her father at a young age. She vulnerably opens up about becoming a "chameleon" in her early life, shaping herself to fit the needs of others while losing connection to her authentic self. That wound eventually became the doorway into her life's work: helping people return to who they truly are beneath the coping strategies, fear, shame, and survival patterns. We explore the four core wounds that shape so many relationships, including abandonment, not feeling good enough, not belonging, and not feeling worthy. Jenn beautifully explains how these wounds influence intimacy, communication, defensiveness, sexuality, perfectionism, avoidance, and even the kinds of relationships we choose. Rather than blaming the past, she invites us into deeper self-awareness, compassion, and responsibility for how these wounds show up in our present-day lives. Jenn also shares her groundbreaking work helping couples heal after infidelity, revealing that affairs are often less about another person and more about the longing to feel alive, connected, desired, and emotionally seen. We discuss how betrayal can either become the ending of a relationship or the catalyst to build an entirely new one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, emotional safety, and genuine connection. We also talk about: -Why connection is our birthright -Emotional safety as the foundation of intimacy and desire -Healing abandonment wounds and relationship insecurity -The difference between physical arousal and true desire -Why vulnerability is essential for intimacy -Infidelity, betrayal, and rebuilding trust -Overcoming defensiveness and learning repair -Desire mismatch, shame, and purity culture -The importance of curiosity, creativity, and novelty in relationships -"Groundhog Day" marriages and how couples lose connection -Empty nesting and rediscovering joy together -How slowing down creates deeper emotional intimacy -Why consideration may be the highest form of love -The power of emotional presence, co-regulation, and nervous system safety This episode is a reminder that relationships are not meant to simply survive. They are meant to change, evolve, deepen, awaken, and expand us. Jenn's wisdom invites us to slow down, soften the armor, and courageously reconnect to ourselves and the people we love most. It is a conversation about the perfectly imperfect journey of intimacy, healing, vulnerability, and the profound beauty that becomes possible when two people are willing to truly see each other authentically again.

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.
