   Ep 78: Why It's So Hard for the Betrayed to Heal Alone with Adam Nisenson

   Betrayal is already painful. Doing it alone makes it heavier. For many betrayed men, infidelity doesn't just hurt the relationship. It hits confidence, identity, self-worth, masculinity, and the way you see yourself. On this episode of Sam's Healing Podcast, Sam sits down with his good friend Adam Nisenson, The Betrayal Shrink. Adam specializes in helping men navigate betrayal trauma, infidelity, and recovery. He also brings something you can't learn from a textbook: he's been a betrayed partner himself. Together, we talk about why betrayal can become such an isolating experience for men—and what happens when you're left alone with your own thoughts for too long. Your mind can become an echo chamber. Was I not enough? Was I not attractive enough? Successful enough? Good enough? Adam describes this as "betrayal dysmorphia"—when someone else's choices begin changing the way you see yourself. And the longer those thoughts stay hidden, the louder the shame can become. That's why brotherhood matters. Sometimes one of the most powerful things a betrayed man can hear from another man is simply: "Me too." Not because it takes the pain away, but because suddenly you realize you're not crazy, you're not the only one, and you don't have to keep carrying everything by yourself. We talk about vulnerability, shame, intrusive thoughts, self-worth, accountability, and why real brotherhood isn't just about validating your pain. It's also having men around you who will challenge you, support you, and help you move forward. Because healing isn't about building your identity around being betrayed. It's about finding yourself again. In this episode, we discuss: • Why betrayal can feel so isolating for men • The "echo chamber" created by shame and intrusive thoughts • How betrayal can distort confidence and self-worth • Adam's concept of "betrayal dysmorphia" • Why vulnerability and being witnessed matter • The difference between support and simply commiserating • How brotherhood can help you heal, grow, and move forward ABOUT BROTHERHOOD N' BETRAYAL We're also announcing Brotherhood N' Betrayal, a men's healing retreat for those who have been cheated on.   📅 January 22–24, 2027 📍 Inn Cahoots | Austin, Texas   This is a growth-focused weekend for betrayed men to connect, learn, heal, and do the work alongside other men who understand.

   Ep 75: Healing the Shame and Patterns Behind Porn Addiction with Jeremy Lipkowitz

   What does real recovery from porn addiction look like when simply "stopping" isn't enough? In this episode of Sam's Healing Podcast, Sam sits down with Jeremy Lipkowitz, founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, for an honest conversation about moving beyond sobriety and addressing the shame, emotions, and patterns that often live underneath compulsive behavior. Jeremy shares how porn addiction can become a way of escaping stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, insecurity, and other uncomfortable emotions—and why relying on willpower or chasing another sobriety streak may not create the deeper change needed for long-term recovery. Together, Sam and Jeremy explore what it means to understand the behavior rather than simply fight it, how mindfulness can help create space between an urge and an action, and why recovery is ultimately about building a life rooted in connection, purpose, integrity, and fulfillment. In this episode, we talked about: • Why shame can keep porn addiction hidden and make recovery harder • Looking beyond sobriety as the only measure of recovery • Understanding the emotions and patterns underneath compulsive porn use • Why willpower and "white-knuckling" only go so far • Using meditation and mindfulness as tools for recovery • Learning to sit with loneliness, boredom, stress, and discomfort instead of escaping them • Jeremy's four-phase recovery framework: Reset, Rewire, Rebuild, and Restore • The role of habits, environment, relationships, and connection in lasting change • Building a meaningful and fulfilling life beyond addiction If you've struggled with porn addiction—or you love someone who has—this conversation offers a compassionate look at what recovery can become when the focus shifts from simply avoiding a behavior to understanding yourself and creating meaningful change from the inside out.   About Jeremy Lipkowitz Jeremy Lipkowitz is a former Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, and ICF-certified executive coach who helps high-achieving men break free from compulsive behaviors—especially porn addiction—and build lives of integrity, discipline, and deep fulfillment. With more than 13 years of meditation experience and hundreds of days spent in silent retreat, Jeremy blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to guide individuals toward emotional resilience and personal freedom. A former genetic researcher who earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Genetics & Genomics and pursued a PhD at Duke University, Jeremy left academia after confronting his own struggles with addiction, shame, and self-judgment. A period of monastic training in Myanmar deepened his mindfulness practice and marked the start of a lifelong commitment to personal growth and service. As the founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, Jeremy is a leading voice in destigmatizing porn addiction and educating the public on effective, science-based recovery strategies. His work helps men overcome shame, understand the neuroscience of addiction, and create lasting transformation through mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and habit change. For over a decade, Jeremy has taught at universities, recovery centers, and global companies across the U.S. and Asia. His calm, grounded presence and ability to bridge analytical thinking with inner work make him a sought-after guide for professionals and executives looking to reclaim their lives from digital distractions and self-sabotaging patterns.
