Deep Wounds of Betrayal Trauma
Are you searching for answers to the unbearable pain of being betrayed by someone you love? Betrayal trauma, viewed through an attachment lens, is a profound form of distress that occurs when a trusted person - such as a partner, family member, or close friend - violates that trust. This betrayal disrupts the secure bond essential for emotional safety and support.
You may feel stuck in a whirlwind of pain and confusion, unable to go backward, yet the pain of moving forward feels overwhelming. At the root of this pain is abandonment.
When someone we are close to abandons us, it causes deep trauma, leading us to bond with the one hurting us and creating a cycle of abandonment and pain. This can be hard to accept or understand.
Breaking Free from the Cycle of Betrayal and Fear
The feeling of abandonment can turn into fear and terror, altering our physical state and leaving us in a state of hyper-vigilance, constantly anticipating more pain. We may feel trapped, unable to leave the person causing the hurt, and enter a perpetual state of grieving, experiencing loss, shock, and disbelief at what is happening in our lives.
You might blame yourself, asking, "Why didn’t I try harder? It must have been something I did. It’s my fault." However, healing requires recognising and addressing the betrayal bond.
