Betrayal Trauma

Life can sometimes throw us into unexpected storms, and the aftermath of betrayal can be one of the most challenging emotional experiences. If you're grappling with the deep wounds of betrayal trauma, our counseling services at Arizona Family Institute are here to provide a supportive and healing space for you.

What is Betrayal Trauma?

Betrayal trauma occurs when someone we trust violates that trust in a profound way. This can take various forms, such as infidelity, deception, or a breach of confidence. The aftermath of betrayal can lead to intense emotional pain, a shattered sense of security, and difficulty trusting others.
