Ep 63. Why Betrayal Is a Different Kind of Trauma?
In this What You're Wondering episode, David and Carrie explore what makes betrayal trauma different and why healing involves so much more than learning to trust your partner again. They share their own experiences with deception, gaslighting, self-doubt, and the grief of realizing the relationship you believed you had wasn't what you thought it was.
Because trauma isn't a competition. Different experiences create different wounds, and understanding what was injured is an important part of knowing what you need to heal.
