Ep. 11 - Healing From Betrayal Trauma

To Everyone, especially artists 👩‍🎨
​Here is your weekly, witty inspiration to stay sane in a crazy world💋😇
A THREAD -

Welcome Back To The Conversation. Betrayal Trauma is one of the most unfortunate pains to recover from because the pain is caused behind your back by people you were convinced liked you, loved you or respected you.


Blunt trauma physically hurts more and depending on if it occurred from a fight or argument it’s less heartbreaking and mentally abusive because at least your opponent had the courage to face you.


Most people have the ability to chalk up whatever losses occur from blunt trauma. As soon as the wound heals they are over it and on to the next thing. But what if the blunt trauma was executed in a sneaky way by someone you trusted or thought would never do that to you?


That type of trauma is the type to cause an imbalance to your nervous system. Your body becomes regulated by fight or flight syndrome. The pain is crippling at times because it makes you want to avoid human interaction and the possibility of future identical pain.


So what do you do? You pray. You surrender to the pain you feel. You cry it all out and come to awareness that you are not the first person this has happened to and release the desire to trauma bond to others.


You find something that really makes you laugh and delight in the fact that are still things to smile about and be grateful for. You pray again, asking God to send you more warm reminders from the universe of how loved you really are.


You start keeping a journal to document your thoughts and observe negative patterns in order to self-correct. You take it easy on yourself because realize that you will never be able to make anyone care about anything you are going through, partly because they are going through things as well.


You learn grace with the new knowledge and awareness of hidden struggles. You do all these things when you have a clean heart and experience betrayal trauma. You do none of this when you are an asshole.


So your takeaway for this week to stay sane in this crazy world is to pray without ceasing. God can handle things that are much greater than our own human physical strength and understanding.


Lastly, don’t be an asshole… unless you can make it comical👍🏽😇 We all have enough to deal with in this life and people prefer to be around people who can add to their joy not subtract from it.


Be as kind to yourself as you possibly can and that inner kindness will heal the wounds of betrayal and further spread kindness as a side effect.
