Betrayal trauma is real and hits deep, especially within a relationship. When you’ve experienced your partner’s infidelity, sex addiction, or intimacy anorexia, it impacts you on every level—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The pain it causes runs deeper than words can express, and it can manifest in ways that are both obvious and hidden.
For more than 40 years, Dr. Doug Weiss has helped individuals and couples navigate the aftermath of betrayal. In this video, he explores the symptoms and impact of betrayal trauma, which include low self-esteem, grief, anxiety, even PTSD. He also shares compassionate, practical tools to help you begin your healing journey.
You did not cause your spouse’s addiction or betrayal, nor are you responsible for their choices. Healing begins when you choose to focus on your own recovery and start rebuilding your life.
To get connected with a certified partner betrayal trauma therapist who understands the pain, grief, and loss that you have experienced and will professionally walk with you through the process towards healing, contact our office at 719-278-3708.
