#betrayal trauma
“Some patients watch as the harm caused is covered up and no one is held accountable. Others feel they have no where to go to speak up and are left feeling isolated in their pain. As such, betrayal trauma is left unaddressed and festers like an untreated wound.”
“Each break in trust adds up. The effects are cumulative and carry over from one interaction to the next and in so doing, betrayal trauma breaks a person. Still, most patients have to crawl back to the very people and system that hurt them. They are forever tied to those who continue to inflict harm.”
