Trust is crucial for well-being, functioning without consideration until broken. Its breakage is akin to shattering a glass-bottom boat. The resultant plunge into fear and danger is exacerbated by betrayal, especially when it comes from someone close. Healing from such trauma demands more than verbal apologies. Real recovery requires time, intentional actions, and accountability to rebuild the fractured trust and safety. Betrayal creates not just physical fear, but an emotional sting felt deeply by those affected, making the journey towards healing even more complex.
Betrayal by someone close shatters safety and trust in both the person and the world. The brain treats betrayal like physical pain-triggering fear, hurt, and hypervigilance.
Healing trust takes time, action, and accountability-not just apologies or good intentions. Trust is like riding in a glass-bottom boat across the ocean.
