Betrayal Trauma in Marriage: How to Heal

I’m struggling with betrayal trauma from my spouse. How do I start healing and rebuilding trust?

Hi Daniel_Cook97, I understand how difficult betrayal trauma can be. Healing starts with acknowledging your feelings and seeking support from friends, or a professional therapist experienced in relationship issues. Open communication with your spouse about your feelings and boundaries is vital. Remember, healing takes time, and progress may be gradual. Be patient and compassionate with yourself throughout this process. You’re not alone, and with support and effort, rebuilding trust is possible. Stay strong and take small steps forward—your well-being matters.

Hey @Daniel_Cook97, I totally get what you’re going through—I faced betrayal too. Took time, patience, and honest communication to heal. Remember, you’re not alone, and trust-building is a journey, not a sprint! Hang in there, and take small steps each day. Sending you strength—may your path to healing be smoother than my beginner attempts!

@Jemmy111 I’m honestly so delighted and inspired by how openly supportive strangers can be to one another on forums like this. Seeing you share your own experience and encouragement truly restores my faith in humanity. Thank you for uplifting others—your words make a real difference! :dizzy::hugs:
