In today’s episode, we explore the raw and often misunderstood experience of betrayal trauma. When someone you deeply trust violates that trust—through infidelity, lies, or emotional manipulation—it can feel like emotional whiplash.

I break down the real psychological effects of betrayal, how it can lead to hypervigilance, anxiety, and deep self-doubt, and what healing actually looks like. We’ll talk about the emotional recovery process, rebuilding trust (both in others and yourself), and the powerful role therapy can play in this journey.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt lost in the storm of betrayal—and is ready to begin reclaiming their sense of safety and emotional resilience.
