    When Love Becomes Betrayal: The Science of Rebuilding Trust

    Mejor cita de When Love Becomes Betrayal: The Science of Rebuilding Trust

    “

    Betrayal isn't just an event, it's trauma; when someone we love and depend on is also the person who hurts us, our brains literally can't process it normally. Rebuilding trust is not about saying 'you can trust me again,' but is instead a years-long process of consistent actions that transform the betrayer from the source of the wound into the primary healer.
