Betrayal trauma refers to the emotional and psychological distress experienced when a person discovers or realizes that someone they trust, typically a close partner or loved one, has violated their trust in a significant way. It involves a breach of loyalty, often through acts of deception, infidelity, abuse, or betrayal of intimate secrets.

The concept of betrayal trauma was initially introduced by psychologist Jennifer Freyd in the late 1990s. It primarily focuses on the effects of trauma that result from breaches in trust within interpersonal relationships. Betrayal trauma can occur in various contexts, such as romantic partnerships, friendships, familial relationships, or professional settings.

The experience of betrayal trauma can lead to a range of intense emotional and psychological reactions, having long-lasting effects on a person's mental health and overall well-being. Recovering from betrayal trauma often requires support from trusted individuals, such as therapists, support groups, or close friends and family.

It's important to note that betrayal trauma is a complex and deeply personal experience, and its effects can vary from person to person. The healing process is unique to each individual, and it may take time to regain a sense of security and rebuild trust in oneself and others.
