Partner Betrayal Trauma: It Isn't All In Your Head
When one enters a relationships, it produces feelings of bliss, excitement, and also can create a delusion of who you wish someone out to be. (That is not crazy behaviour at all, since that person is also acting and saying all the right things to make you believe as such.) But, time marches on, and you start to see some questionnable signs (or red flags) and you start to feel this strong sense of intuition that something is not right and what that person had led you to believe… Then comes the investigation phase where you need to find out why your intuition will not let up, to eventually find out it was right and that your partner has lied to you and betrayed your trust through his lies and actions.
Therapy can be a good way to help you walk alongside someone who wants what is best for you. A certified mental health professional can help equip you with tools and strategies for how to cope with the trauma associated with the betrayal you have endured and to heal from the internal pain you are experiencing. Trying to do it alone can be very hard and finding unhealthy ways to cope with the pain is more likely to occur. Being able to share with someone who cares about your well-being will help you to develop healthy coping strategies. It will also help you to truly realize you are not deserving of the treatment you have undergone and that you are not crazy!
Relationships at the beginning are blissful… but they can quickly turn when you realize that you have been lied to and the actions of your partner go against your value system.
