Betrayal can leave a person battling intrusive thoughts, replaying memories, questioning what was real, or experiencing flashbacks to moments they wish they could forget. For some, trauma can even develop into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

And sometimes, those who cause the hurt become uncomfortable with the reaction of the person they hurt.

Thing is healing doesn’t happen on OUR timeline. WE don’t get to decide how long it takes someone to trust again, what triggers their pain, or when they should be over it.

Sometimes, the hardest part of healing is learning how to feel safe again in places where you once felt loved.
