Helping our Clients Heal
WHEN THE WORLD FEELS LIKE IT’S BETRAYING THEM AGAIN
Helping Clients Navigate Political Triggers & Betrayal Trauma
The world can feel like it's turning upside down for clients healing from betrayal trauma. Political events, social division, and public narratives around justice—or the lack of it—can reactivate deep wounds of deception, abandonment, and loss.
As therapists, we see it firsthand: clients experience distress as they watch people celebrate what feels like injustice. The pain of betrayal doesn’t just come from personal relationships—it echoes in the world around them.
