• Why Betrayal Trauma Makes You Expect the Worst

  

  Betrayal trauma rewires your brain to expect danger, causing hypervigilance, distrust, and emotional turmoil. This trauma response keeps you on edge, scanning for threats even when safe. Healing requires rebuilding trust slowly, soothing your nervous system, and honoring your instincts. You’re not broken—your sensitivity is a survival skill guiding your recovery journey and growth.
