What is Betrayal Trauma?
Betrayal Trauma refers to the trauma experienced when someone a person is significantly dependent upon or deeply trusts, betrays them in a significant manner. This betrayal can manifest in various forms, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect, and is often perpetrated by someone close to the victim, such as a parent, partner, close friend, employer, or caregiver. This betrayal may include infidelity, gaslighting, discovering a partner has sex, porn, love, or lust addiction, or that trust has been broken in a way that may feel paralyzing and unforgivable.
The theory of Betrayal Trauma was developed by psychologist Jennifer Freyd in the 1990s. It focuses on the idea that the psychological impact of betrayal can be particularly severe because of the importance of the relationship to the victim’s need for safety, security, and trust. The betrayal disrupts these fundamental needs and can lead to complex psychological effects and physical and medical problems, including rupture of trust, attachment, and the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
Betrayal Trauma is significant because it highlights the role of interpersonal relationships in trauma and suggests that breaches of trust can have profound psychological effects. It also has implications for therapy and recovery, emphasizing the need for stabilization and safety to address issues of trust and betrayal in the healing process. Together, we can address the impact betrayal has on your life and find a path to healing. Grab the bull by the horns!
