Infidelity and Betrayal Trauma

Therapy for Infidelity and Betrayal Trauma

Infidelity and betrayal can have a profound impact on both individuals and relationships, often leading to intense emotional pain and psychological distress. Betrayal trauma is a specific type of trauma that occurs when someone you deeply trust violates that trust, leading to feelings of shock, devastation, and a profound sense of loss. Individuals experiencing betrayal trauma may encounter a range of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting others. It’s not uncommon to feel disconnected from oneself, experience a loss of self-esteem, or struggle with intense emotional swings.

Individual Therapy

For those who have experienced betrayal, individual therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process the overwhelming emotions that come with infidelity. Therapy can help you understand and validate your feelings, work through the trauma, and begin the journey toward healing. By exploring the underlying causes and impacts of betrayal, you can start to rebuild your sense of self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and regain confidence in your ability to trust again.
