Were they lying to you then, too? (Betrayal Trauma) |
When trust is shattered, it doesn't just impact your future; it retroactively affects your past, leading to questions like, "Were they lying to me then too?" This kind of betrayal can be a profound source of emotional abuse and trauma. It's crucial to understand that snooping in such situations isn't a sign of craziness, but often a traumatized individual's attempt to establish a baseline of reality and protect their mental health. Understanding the psychology behind these reactions is a vital step toward healing. 💔🧠
