After people have experienced betrayal trauma, you oftwn hear them say things like, "Everything inside me shattered when I found out." Or, "I felt like I got punched in the stomach." Or, "My heart broke into a million pieces." So why do people often describe betrayal trauma in terms of physical pain? Because extreme betrayal releases a cocktail of stress hormones and sends our body into fight-flight-or freeze mode. These reactions cause physical distress and agony in the body. Betrayal trauma hurts in every way: mentally, spiritually, emotionally...and physically. If you have suffered physical pain after betrayal, you are not alone.
