Free Video: Understanding the Turmoil of Betrayal
If you've been betrayed, your world has been shaken. And you don't know what to do. Should you stay or leave? Can you forgive? Can you ever rebuild trust?
Before you try to answer all of that, start here.
This free lesson explains why betrayal can make it so hard to think clearly—and how understanding what you're going through can help you begin to regain your footing.
If you've been betrayed, you may feel pressure to answer impossible questions:
The problem is that betrayal often damages more than trust in another person.
It can damage trust in your own judgment.
You may find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, swinging between certainty and doubt, and feeling pressure to make life-changing decisions before you're ready.
These reactions are not unusual.
One of the goals of this course is to help you regain enough stability and clarity to understand what you're actually dealing with—so that whatever decisions you make come from understanding rather than panic.
Why betrayal affects us so deeply and why it can become difficult to think clearly afterward.
What forgiveness is, what it isn't, and when it may—or may not—be appropriate.
How trust is broken, how it can be rebuilt, and what rebuilding actually requires.
Make decisions from understanding rather than panic, whether you stay, leave, rebuild, or move on.
