How Does Betrayal Trauma Affect People?
Betrayal trauma occurs when someone suffers the emotional and psychological distress caused by someone they love and trust. You may suffer betrayal in many forms, such as infidelity, dishonesty, or other violation of trust. People who suffer from betrayal may notice sadness, grief, shock, or more severe mental health issues like anxiety or depression.

Can Therapy Help People Recover From Betrayal Trauma?
Counseling or therapy is very effective for those who’ve suffered betrayal. It provides a safe space to process pain and work through the confusion they may feel due to betrayal. Therapists can help survivors cope with their unwanted symptoms and give them the tools for setting boundaries to rebuild trust. Therapists also provide various therapies and techniques to help survivors manage depression, anxiety, and other issues that accompany betrayal trauma. We work with many clients who suffer from the effects of betrayal and are looking for ways to process trauma in a healthy way. Whether you’ve suffered from symptoms for years, or need help to determine if your symptoms are a result of betrayal, we can help.
Do Therapists Use Any Specific Therapeutic Approaches to Address Betrayal Trauma?
Our trauma-informed therapists use various therapeutic approaches to address betrayal trauma and facilitate recovery. These approaches often include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), brainspotting, and somatic therapy. Our therapists often use a combination of psychotherapies and mindfulness techniques to promote optimal healing and help survivors process traumatic experiences and their feelings. We work collectively with clients to determine the best treatment for their unique mental health needs. As we help you work through your unique betrayal, we can adjust your treatment plan to encourage optimal recovery and ensure you receive the help you need.
Do You Recommend Couples Or Relationship Counseling For Betrayal Trauma?
In many cases, couples or relationship counseling provides insight into the source of betrayal and offers many benefits for couples. Counseling offers a safe and structured space where couples can work through trauma with the help of a licensed and experienced therapist. This process can help couples heal and rebuild trust. However, couples counseling is not beneficial or practical for every couple, especially in cases of severe betrayal. Individual therapy is often best for both parties to work through personal issues and move toward healing and growth.
