The Injustice of Betrayal Trauma & Why Your Anger Makes Sense

When the person who promised to love you is the one who caused the deepest harm, it creates a specific kind of trauma — one rooted in injustice. Betrayal trauma shatters safety, damages trust, and turns your entire world upside down. And yet… women are so often told to “be more understanding,” “let it go,” or “move on.”

In today’s episode, we’re naming what so many experience but rarely say out loud:
What happened to you was unjust.

And your anger? It’s not a flaw — it’s a sign of your worth and your wound.

Together, we explore:
• The deep injustice of betrayal and how it reshapes your sense of reality
• Why anger shows up in every chapter — past, present, and future
• The anger tied to uncertainty and the pain of not knowing what comes next
• How anger reflects your longing for truth, stability, and fairness
• Ways anger can become a guide back to clarity, safety, and self-respect

We draw from insights in Betrayal Trauma Anger by Dr. Crystal Hollenbeck — not to pathologize your anger, but to understand it as a natural response to harm.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your emotional reactions — especially if you’ve been judging yourself for them.

Key Reminder:
You are not overreacting.
You are responding to a real violation.
And your anger can be a powerful ally on your way back home to yourself.
