What happens when a man is sexually betrayed and no one talks about it? In this powerful episode, Adam Nisenson joins Dan Drake and Tim Stein live at the ITAP Symposium to break the silence around male partner betrayal trauma. Adam shares his personal story of discovering his wife’s affair over a decade ago, and how that painful experience led him to write A Man’s Guide to Partner Betrayal, the first book of its kind written by a man, for men. The conversation explores why betrayed men often stay silent for years, and how male betrayal trauma manifests in unique ways such as competitiveness, jealousy, and intrusive thoughts. Adam opens up about the shame and cultural stigma that prevent men from seeking help, and how most available resources are directed toward women, leaving men without guidance. Adam's story is not just about heartbreak, it’s about reclaiming self-worth, finding your voice, and redefining masculinity in the face of deep emotional pain.

Healing from sex addiction and betrayal isn’t a solo journey—especially for men. In this insightful conversation, the struggle many men face with opening up, often stuck in the “ego trap” of having to fix everything alone, is explored. The truth? Recovery requires connection, empathy, and tools—and it often starts when one man breaks the silence, encouraging others to do the same. Discover why a brotherhood or supportive community is crucial, and why professional guidance can make all the difference in sustained healing. The importance of understanding from betrayed partners and how recovery books and workbooks are evolving to meet the unique needs of men is also discussed. Whether on your own healing path or supporting someone who is, this video offers real talk about vulnerability, accountability, and the power of witnessing each other’s journey.
