Why Am I Still Having Triggers Months After the Affair? (Betrayal Trauma Triggers)

Discovering that your partner had an affair is deeply traumatic. It affects your spirit, soul, and body, as well as how you see your past, present, and future. For many people, the pain doesn’t just fade away, but it causes triggers to manifest. As an expert in partner betrayal trauma, licensed psychologist Dr. Doug Weiss explains why betrayed partners can struggle with triggers months or even years after the affair. You’ll learn why having triggers is a normal part of the trauma, the different types of triggers, and the importance of getting help and support for yourself.

If you’re battling intrusive thoughts, emotional turmoil, or physical reactions long after the affair was discovered, this conversation will help you to understand what’s happening, validate what you’ve experienced, and show you how you can start healing. It’s not your fault that you were betrayed or triggered, but it is your responsibility to heal. You don’t have to walk this path alone and there is real support and hope for you.
