If you enter into intimate partner relationships, you are at risk for betrayal. That’s because no one causes their own betrayal. Betrayal is something that happens TO you. We have to work to around betrayal. It’s time to step out of the shadows and take our power back. Join the movement, Intimate Partner Betrayal Awareness Day, August 4. Stay up to date by visiting our website and signing up for updates.

April is SA Awareness Month.

1 in 2 women.
1 in 6 men.

This is bigger than people want to admit.

It’s not rare.
It’s just hidden.

And for survivors,
it’s not “over.”
It’s something they carry every day.

So don’t just be aware.

Be someone who believes.
Be someone who listens.
Be someone safe.

Because no one should have to heal alone.

😢🔬 In the early 1980s, biochemist, Dr. William H. Frey, II at the St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center discovered that emotional tears contain high levels of stress hormones and protein, leading him to theorize that crying functions as a biological waste removal system.

🗂️Key Findings of the Study:

📑Chemical Distinction: Frey’s research found that emotional tears (psychic tears ) are chemically different from reflex tears (such as those caused by onions). Emotional tears were found to contain roughly 24% more protein.

📑Stress Hormone Removal: Emotional tears were shown to carry higher concentrations of stress-related compounds, including:

🗒️ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone): A key indicator of stress.
🗒️Prolactin: A hormone associated with stress and milk production, found in much higher levels in women after puberty.
🗒️Leucine-enkephalin: A natural opioid peptide and painkillers produced by the body during stress.

📑Excretory Process Theory: Based on these findings, Frey proposed that crying is an exocrine process- similar to exhaling, sweating or urinating - designed to physically expel toxic biological byproducts that accumulate during emotional distress.

NEVER HOLD BACK YOUR TEARS. Doing so too often can actually make you quite sick. The process of releasing emotional tears was created in you to actually help you feel better. ❤️

Have you ever felt a sense of relief after a good cry? What are your thoughts on this theory?

Healing from hidden abuse

03/29/2026

Crying is a biological and intuitive mechanism designed for self-regulation, helping the body return to a state of balance after emotional stress. It acts as a natural “safety valve,” releasing pent-up feelings like sadness, frustration, or fear, often leaving people feeling lighter afterward. While crying may initially feel intense, it eventually activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s “rest and digest” mode—promoting relaxation and slowing the heart rate.

Emotional crying is also linked to the release of endorphins and oxytocin, which can soothe distress and support emotional relief. Additionally, tears may help reduce stress by expelling stress-related hormones like cortisol, indirectly lowering inflammation. However, the benefits of crying often occur after the episode ends rather than during it, and the emotional relief can depend on context—people tend to feel better when they cry in supportive environments rather than in situations where they feel judged or suppressed.

Check in on your friends and loved ones, help where you can, even if it’s just words of encouragement.

Nobody deserves to be alone, and that includes you. 💚

Intimate partner betrayal IS A BIG DEAL! It is an equal opportunity experience that traumatizes victims everyday. You are never the same after betrayal. There’s life before D-Day and after D-Day. You can heal. You can be better. But you can never be the same.

When do men hold other men accountable? What would it look like for a man to speak up against misogyny?

There is no award for “doing too much.”

Your mental health hinges on your ability to show up for others and be present for yourself.
