RELATIONSHIP TRAUMA
At Hosanna Ministries, we have treated many consumers whose current struggles, whether they be from addiction or a co-occurring mental illness such as depression and anxiety, result from the trauma of betrayal.
Relationship/Betrayal trauma can occur within a relationship when the actions of another violate the trust on which the relationship was built. The experience of profound and unexpected betrayal can be deeply traumatic. We understand you are going through one of the most difficult experiences of your life.
Your trust and belief in the person closest to you has been shattered. To be deceived and manipulated by someone you love can leave you feeling humiliated and deeply wounded. Many blame themselves.
The trauma evoked by betrayal in a relationship can manifest in the following ways:
- Addictions
- Suicidal & Homicidal thoughts or attempts
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Emotional volatility
- Hypervigilance that can manifest in self-protective behaviors like doing “detective work” (checking bills, wallets, computer files, phone apps, browser histories, stalking, etc.)
- Sleeplessness, nightmares, difficulty focusing.
- Obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the betrayal.
- Avoiding thinking about or discussing the betrayal
- Isolation
- Child abuse
- Compulsive spending, eating, or exercise
