Betrayal shatters your world. In a moment, everything you thought you knew and could count on changes. The person closest to you switches in an instant from your deepest source of safety and connection to a source of pain, fear and emotional danger.
This is the experience of betrayal trauma. For betrayed partners in the middle of this chaotic, fragmenting, and devastating experience, the whole world is turned upside down and everything feels uncertain.
One of the first ways to help yourself with betrayal trauma is to recognize and put into words the felt experience you are going through. This helps you begin the process of understanding and integrating what has happened into the narrative of your life.
The goal of this book is to help you identify and articulate the experience you are having—to give you words, language, and concepts to describe this storm of betrayal. My hope is that you will then be able to share about your experience with your support system in ways they can understand and feel.
