In this milestone 100th episode of Adjusted Reality, listeners are invited into a powerful and human conversation with trauma expert Michelle Mays LPC, CSAT-S. An author, innovator and licensed professional counselor with more than 20 years of clinical experience, Michelle specializes in betrayal trauma, attachment wounds and relational healing. As the founder of the Relational Recovery Institute and author of The Betrayal Bind, When It All Breaks Bad and other transformative works, she brings both professional expertise and personal insight to this meaningful discussion. Together, Dr. McAllister and Michelle explore what betrayal trauma really is and why it impacts far more than emotions alone. Michelle explains how betrayal disrupts the nervous system, alters one’s sense of safety and often manifests in physical symptoms that many people don’t initially connect to emotional pain. The conversation sheds light on common stress responses, chronic nervous system activation and why hope can sometimes feel more frightening than despair in the early stages of recovery.
This special episode blends science, compassion and hope, offering reassurance to anyone navigating betrayal recovery while reinforcing the mind-body connection at the heart of whole-person health. Tune in for an inspiring and honest conversation about resilience and healing!
