Betrayal Trauma: How to Rise Back Stronger After a Betrayal
Betrayal trauma can shatter our world, leaving us feeling stuck, lost, and triggered, unable to move forward. We can’t get away from the thoughts, which cause us to re-experience the trauma as if was happening in the present moment. We project unhealed betrayal into the future and there’s nowhere to go to escape it all.
Whether it’s a broken relationship, a friend’s deception, or an unexpected loss of trust, betrayal trauma can pull the rug out from under your sense of security and self-worth.
But here’s the thing.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the pain. You can rise above challenges, reclaim your power, and bounce back stronger than ever.
You can heal from betrayal trauma but it won’t be from reading a book or even reading this post. Trauma requires something more than information to heal it.
Understanding Betrayal Trauma
Betrayal trauma occurs when someone we deeply trust violates that trust. This type of trauma is overwhelming because it undermines our sense of safety and security in relationships. Common symptoms of betrayal trauma include:
- Intense emotional pain
- Difficulty trusting others
- Anxiety and depression
- Intrusive thoughts about the betrayal
- Changes in sleep patterns or appetite
The Path to Healing: Bounce Back Stronger After a Betrayal
Let’s look at some common advice for healing – let’s see where it really gets us:
Seek Support: Reach out to trusted friends, family, or a therapist. Having a support system is crucial as you navigate the healing process. Our go to is to talk about the trauma because there’s so much emotion that we need to release, however, sometimes talking about the trauma revivifies it (makes you re-live and re-experience it); and keeps you even more stuck.
Acknowledge the Pain: The first step in healing from betrayal is to acknowledge the hurt. Allow yourself to feel the pain without judgment.
I tried acknowledging my anxiety daily when I experience workplace trauma where I was betrayed bigtime by someone who I thought was a friend. I meditated 3x a day for almost a year and at the end of it, my pain was as intense as it was when I started. Not sure, if I personally would recommend this because this practice actually reinforced by anxiety. Was my anxiety showing up because I was in the habit of sitting with i three times a day?
My anxiety was there when I woke up and there to meet me when I went to bed, like clockwork. I was super stuck in the anxiety. Acknowledging my anxiety hardly made a difference, even after 1 months. Ugh. Do not recommend, even though it sounds good and spiritual.
However, what can make a huge difference is being authentic in a safe space with the help of your Superconscious, with Accelerated Hypnotherapy, you don’t even have to talk about your trauma, if you find it too overwhelming. Your Superconscious knows everything so let’s connect with that.
Practice Self-Care: Prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. Exercise, eat well, and engage in activities that bring you joy.
OK, this sounds like great advice but when you feel so bad, you can hardly get out of bed, joy seems so far away and you may not be sure how to even get there from where you are. It’s like someone telling you, just say, “Cancel” and switch your feelings to joy. Umm, this does not help at all. It’s like reading a book to learn how to ride a bike. Does not compute.
Logic, understanding and information doesn’t fix emotions.
Trauma is at a whole ‘notha level. And you have to deal with emotions at the subconscious level to heal them. When you do, you can experience accelerated shifts. Huge shifts that make a difference. Now.
Hypnosis for Love: Accelerated Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for healing emotional wounds. All that betrayal is taking up so much space in your future that you can’t move forward.
Hypnotherapy can help bring big shifts to rumination and recurring intrusive thoughts and help you get unstuck because in our sessions you actually get on the bike and learn to ride it through an experience, so that after the session, you can actually get to where you want to go.
Free to be. Free to love. Free to trust again and be ALL IN, even though that might seem impossible from where you find yourself now.
Set Boundaries: As you heal, it’s important to establish healthy boundaries in your relationships to protect yourself from future betrayals.
Ya ok, The problem with boundaries when you’re feeling betrayed is that you’re one huge boundary. No one is getting in and you’re not getting out. You’re stuck in a very small space with no freedom. It’s not about setting more boundaries that will constrict you even further, it’s about resolving the trauma of being betrayed so you can learn how to safely trust in a healthy way so you’re not stuck in fear.
Am I right?
