When your emotions and perceptions are constantly dismissed, something quietly breaks down.

You stop trusting what you feel. You second-guess what you saw. You doubt what you know.

Betrayals rarely exist without components of emotional manipulation.

This is very disorienting. Over time, it can make you a stranger to yourself.

I frequently hear, “I feel like I am not being a good mom.”

Which leads to the question ”What is a “Good mom”?  

This could be a long discussion.  🤨
But here is a thought … I have observed a common thread of exhaustion in the mom’s that I work with.  And in myself. 

Perhaps you are under-supported and over-extended.

The answer probably isn’t becoming “better” at managing everything. Or berating yourself.

Maybe your nervous system is overloaded from carrying too much for too long.

The mental load.
The constant decision making.
The overstimulation.
The pressure to do it all well.
The demands of modern motherhood.  

Maybe the exhaustion, irritability, brain fog, and overwhelm are not signs that you’re a “bad mom” …

Maybe they are signs that your body is asking for support, rest, space and regulation.

There are many forms of betrayal: emotional, sexual, financial, addictions, hidden lives… but they share a common thread:

Deception.  Secrecy in a relationship with a primary attachment figure where your safety mattered. 

Betrayal trauma is profoundly disorienting because it doesn’t just impact your relationship — it impacts your nervous system, your attachment system, family system, and your sense of reality.

It impacts your reality of your past, present and future.  

Your mind may constantly scan for danger.
Your body may feel anxious, exhausted, numb, hypervigilant, disconnected… all at the same time.

You may question: Your intuition, your worth, your memories, your ability to trust yourself again.

And if you’ve felt “crazy” trying to make sense of it all… You’re not crazy.

Your nervous system is responding to a profound emotional injury.

❤️ If you or someone you know is navigating a betrayal / relational rupture please reach out.  Getting support early on is a protective factor for your recovery.

There are victories that will never be announced over a microphone.

Share this with a fellow mother who may need the reminder during a season of beautiful celebrations and accomplishments.

Now that’s it’s May 10th I’m reviewing the month of April 🤪 did that month fly by to anyone else?!

I’m practicing slowing down to consciously notice gains, lessons, feelings, grief, glimmers from the month. I always find myself surprised by how incredibly powerful our minds are - we find what we are looking for.

Here’s to “Maycember” - cheering you on 💛
