Shame After Betrayal

When a man is cheated on, the damage goes far beyond broken trust. For many men, partner betrayal quietly turns into shame, a deep, identity-level injury that affects confidence, masculinity, sexuality, emotional connection, and self-worth. This webinar is a direct, honest conversation about that hidden injury and how men begin to heal it.

This webinar brings together Sam from Sam’s Healing Podcast and Adam Nisenson, known as The Betrayal Shrink for an in-depth teaching and discussion focused specifically on shame within Masculine Betrayal Trauma.

Shame is one of the most powerful and least recognized consequences of infidelity for men. It often shows up as anger, withdrawal, sexual shutdown, over-functioning, control, or isolation rather than sadness or vulnerability. Many men never name it, yet it quietly drives their behavior, relationships, and inner narrative. This webinar names it directly and explains what is happening inside the male nervous system after partner betrayal.

During this session, Adam and Sam will walk participants through why shame hits men differently, how betrayal impacts identity and ego, and why men often blame themselves even when the betrayal was not their doing. The conversation will explore how cultural conditioning, masculinity norms, and emotional suppression make shame harder to recognize and harder to heal. You will learn how common coping strategies such as withdrawal, isolation, or over-performance may protect in the short term but ultimately deepen the wound.

This webinar is not about fixing yourself, excusing betrayal, or rushing to forgiveness. It is about understanding the injury accurately, so it no longer defines you. Participants will be guided through reflection questions, practical insights, and trauma-informed teaching that helps separate identity from injury, reduces self-attack, and opens the door to real healing.

This event is limited to men who have been betrayed to create a safe, honest environment where these conversations can happen without judgment or minimization. The material is grounded, clinically informed, and deeply respectful of the male experience after infidelity.
