Ep 53. WYW: How Do You Revive the Spark After Betrayal?

In this episode of What You’re Wondering, Carrie and David answer a common question after betrayal: How do you bring back the spark when closeness, affection, or intimacy no longer feels natural?

They explore why rebuilding connection has to begin with safety, not pressure, and how betrayal can change the way the body experiences affection, desire, and vulnerability. They also walk through the Gottman Trust Revival Method of Atone, Attune, and Attach, sharing practical ways couples can rebuild friendship, create affection without expectation, make space for grief, communicate about intimacy outside the moment, and create the repeated experiences of safety that allow closeness to return.
