Struggling to trust again after betrayal, heartbreak, or grief? This episode is your permission slip to heal on your terms.

Whether you’ve been widowed, divorced, ghosted, or simply stretched thin by years of emotional caretaking, love after trauma is complicated. In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach Clare Deacon unpacks how to build trust with yourself before you rebuild it with anyone else.

Clare shares deeply human insights on why connection feels unsafe after relational trauma, how the nervous system responds to intimacy post-betrayal, and what it really means to show up in relationships without self-abandoning.

We explore:

  • Why love feels risky after loss or separation
  • How trauma changes your brain’s relationship to intimacy
  • The truth about self-trust, co-regulation, and safety
  • Why you might push away healthy love and how to gently let it in

With compassion and clarity, Clare speaks to the intelligent, successful women who feel stuck between longing and fear offering validation, guidance, and a reminder that love doesn’t have to hurt to be real.
