Discovering betrayal by the person you love is a devastating and life altering process. In a moment, the life you thought you had, has been turned upside down and permanently altered. It leaves you in a state of confusion, sadness, anger and despair. You lose trust in others, the world around you and more importantly, you lose trust in yourself, your instincts, and the ability to see beyond the lies has been eroded. You begin to question every thought, decision, and judgment that has ever been made.
You embark on a painful journey of re-defining, reconstructing and re-building what once was to what will be. Grieving the loss of dreams, and hopes takes time, patience, compassion, and self-care. Many often try to grieve alone due to shame, embarrassment and stigma surrounding betrayal which only isolates you more. Surrounding yourself with supportive people as you begin to make sense of the betrayal as you question if it will happen again is vital to the process.
This is a process of self-discovery, forgiveness and learning trust your intuition, instincts all over again. Identifying warning signs, establishing boundaries and how to cope are what bring hope in the darkest moments. Whether you decide to reconcile and re-build the relationship or to end it and build a new life you will need support every step of the way. It is no one’s place to tell you what to do but to offer a supportive environment where you can come to a decision that is right for you, your life and your future. We are here to support you on this journey.
