• Feeling Bitter & Stuck After Betrayal?

  

  If you’ve ever felt stuck in bitterness after something unjust—like betrayal, rejection, or a humiliating loss—you might relate to Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED). It’s not just sadness or fear. It’s a trauma response rooted in moral injury and injustice, often misdiagnosed as depression or PTSD.

• Betrayal Trauma & Post Traumatic Embitterment

  

  Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED) is a psychological condition marked by persistent bitterness, resentment, and a sense of injustice after a deeply unfair or humiliating event, such as betrayal trauma. Unlike PTSD, PTED centers on moral injury and emotional pain, often causing long-lasting distress, intrusive thoughts, and difficulty moving forward in life and relationships.
