What is Betrayal Trauma?

Betrayal trauma happens when someone you deeply depend on — emotionally, physically, or even spiritually — violates your trust in a significant way. This might come in the form of infidelity, emotional manipulation, secrets, or broken promises.

But it’s more than “just” a broken heart. It’s disorienting. Often, women question their own judgment, worth, or even reality.

“How did I not see this coming?”
“Was I not enough?”
“Why can’t I just move on?”

These questions aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs that something real and painful has happened — and your body, mind, and heart are trying to make sense of it.

Betrayal trauma is a wound that cuts deep. And if you've felt it, you know — it's not just about what someone did. It’s about the shattering of something you believed was safe, honest, or sacred. For many women, especially in intimate relationships, betrayal trauma hits at the core of who they are and how they see themselves.

Have you experienced betrayal trauma? Are you struggling to trust yourself? To trust others? H.E.a.R.T. might be for you. We've created this group to help and support women to move through the trauma and have opportunities to connect with other women who share your experience.

Want to learn more or register for one of the three groups we have coming up? Click below, or reach out directly at hello@wacs.ca.

A women's group focused on healing - possible no matter what happens to the relationship - and the support of the group process offers the opportunity to find balm for a broken heart.
