Betrayal Trauma Recovery: Healing PTSD, Triggers & Trust After Infidelity

Описание: Betrayal trauma is real, painful, and life-changing. When infidelity, pornography addiction, or hidden secrets come to light, the betrayed partner’s world is turned upside down. In this video, Beth Fischer—creator of the Betrayal Trauma Healing Method®—explains what betrayal trauma is, why PTSD symptoms are common after infidelity, and how couples can begin to heal. Whether you’re a betrayed partner or an unfaithful partner, understanding betrayal trauma is the first step toward true recovery.

What is betrayal trauma?
Betrayal trauma happens when the person you trust most—your spouse or partner—violates that trust. This type of trauma triggers the nervous system, causing a dysregulated state that feels overwhelming. Betrayed partners often experience symptoms that mirror PTSD: flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, anxiety, and emotional flooding. These are not “overreactions.” They are real trauma responses.

Why betrayal trauma feels different:
Unlike other types of trauma, betrayal trauma often changes how you see your past. Moments that once felt safe are suddenly questioned. Every memory can become a trigger, making even normal, everyday items feel dangerous. This is why healing betrayal trauma requires more than time—it requires understanding, validation, and specific recovery tools.

Key topics covered in this video:

Betrayal trauma explained – what it is and how it impacts the brain and nervous system.

Finding calm after betrayal – regulating the nervous system to reduce triggers and restore stability.

For betrayed partners:
You are not “crazy” or weak. Your pain is valid. Betrayal trauma is a deeply rooted emotional and physical experience, and recovery takes time. Learning how to process triggers, rebuild self-worth, and set healthy boundaries is essential for healing.

For unfaithful partners:
Your betrayed spouse needs more than just apologies. They need to feel safe. That means learning how to respond to triggers with empathy and accountability, rather than anger or defensiveness. Without understanding betrayal trauma, true reconciliation is nearly impossible.
