How to Rebuild Trust After You’ve Broken It: What Men Need To Know

When a woman loses trust in her man, it’s not because of one fight—it’s because she no longer feels safe in his presence. In this episode of the Reforged Podcast, licensed professional counselor Scott Austin Martin reveals the biggest mistake men make when trying to rebuild trust: they beg, apologize, and try to prove themselves, which only makes things worse. Scott explains that rebuilding trust is not about saying the right thing; it’s about becoming trustworthy again. This episode dives into the 4 key insights every man needs to understand about trust, safety, and masculine presence. You’ll learn why begging equals masculine collapse, how to self-regulate when she’s triggered, and why rebuilding trust requires consistent presence over time. We explore the AMP framework (Path, Presence, Process, Strategy) as a roadmap for doing the inner work necessary to become a man who can be trusted. Scott provides practical tools and resources, including somatic processing techniques and the importance of accountability in a community of men. If you’re in a relationship rupture and want to stop making things worse, this episode will show you how to stop begging and start becoming the man she can trust again.
