Rooted and Rising Healing After Betrayal
After betrayal, the hardest emotion to let yourself feel often isn't sadness or anger — it's joy. A good moment arrives and instead of sinking into it, you brace, waiting for the other shoe to drop. In this episode, I unpack why that happens: how a nervous system wired for protection can read joy as risk, and why bracing against happiness is a survival response rather than a personal failing. We talk about Brené Brown's idea of "foreboding joy," why pain can feel safer than openness, and how healing involves teaching your body that peace and joy aren't traps. Then we get practical, with small, repeatable ways to build your tolerance for feeling good again — no forced gratitude, no pretending you're further along than you are. If you've ever caught yourself flinching at your own happiness, this one's for you. Enjoyed This Episode?
