You say you’re fine. But you’re barely sleeping. Barely eating. Barely holding it together. This episode is for the man performing strength on the outside while falling apart inside. Adam Nisenson, LMFT and The Betrayal Shrink, calls out the silent suffering that so many betrayed men live with, and gives you full permission to drop the mask.

“Pretending you’re fine might protect your ego, but it doesn’t heal your trauma.”

In this no-fluff, straight-to-the-heart episode, you’ll hear:

• Why pretending you’re okay is a trauma response, not a sign of resilience
• The hidden costs of emotional suppression on your body and mind
• Signs that you’re masking your pain instead of dealing with it
• Why real strength means saying, “I’m not okay”, and letting that be enough

“You don’t have to apologize for being hurt. You have full permission to not be okay. That’s not weakness, that’s self-respect.”

This podcast is short, raw, and real. You won’t find fluffy affirmations or surface-level advice here. Just truth, clarity, and permission to begin again, honestly.

Follow the show, share it with a brother who needs it, and remember: you’re not broken, you’re rebuilding.
