Available in-person and virtually across Michigan.
When Betrayal Shatters Your Sense Of Safety
After discovering betrayal, many partners experience:
- Shock, panic, or emotional numbness
- Intrusive thoughts or obsessive questioning
- Hypervigilance and loss of safety
- Difficulty trusting yourself or others
- Sleep disruption, anxiety, or depression
- Feeling blamed, minimized, or told to “move on”
*Betrayal trauma is a nervous-system injury, not a relationship problem.*
