Betrayal Trauma

NovaCat227 October 23rd, 2023

I've been struggling with betrayal trauma since the beginning of this year. And it's been a long process of healing for me. These days around I do great and I'm thankful I've come so far with getting over said trauma, but it creeps it's ugly head back up again from time to time like today. Yesterday I had such a great day with my family and it was just a nice day overall. And today was great too, but I saw something on social media that just reminded me of the situation I was in earlier this year and the betrayal trauma just floods back in. I know me not stating what exactly caused me to have betrayal trauma is a bit confusing to understand this post as a whole but I just prefer not to talk about it since that isn't what this is about. But I do feel like getting these words off my chest because being reminded of the betrayal from someone in my life hurts a lot and I can't keep it in. But yeah it's really been hard healing from the trauma. I do wish I could just forget about it all but sadly that's not how things work lol. And I'm just hoping one day I can heal fully. And that I can live my life without being constantly reminded on the damage that was done to my heart, to my psyche. Most importantly to my soul. I just feel damaged and broken. You can never truly fix something that has been broken once. I don't want to be broken but I am and it's just hard living with that reality is all. Thanks for anyone who reads <3

@NovaCat227 You will! I also have betrayal trauma and it really hurts . It makes it hard to trust and feel normal but you sound like you’re coping really well. I know I’m a stranger haha but well done!

Thank you so much! I am really trying my best. Especially since the person that was the cause of it is still actively in my life. But it's good to hear that there's eventually light at the end of the tunnel
