11 Signs Of BETRAYAL Trauma

In this video I share 11 signs you may be suffering with betrayal trauma. Betrayal can happen out of nowhere and leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to move forward. I have been through betrayal too many times to count which is one reason I am now so careful with who I connect with. But even if you have boundaries and connect with good healthy people, betrayal can still come out of nowhere when you least expect it.

My name is Jordan Hardgrave. I once suffered from debilitating trauma, depersonalization/derealization, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, health anxiety, social anxiety, existential anxiety, and many more things that wasted many years of my life. I was tired, frustrated, and gave up hope that I could ever find healing. To be honest, I didn’t even know I was traumatized. My symptoms became a part of who I was. They became “normal”. Many years ago, after throwing together all the tools I could find online (most of which didn’t help), I accidentally stumbled upon a body-based method that brought me permanent healing. I figured, “If I apply all these tools at the same time surely one will work”. Little did I know at the time that hidden within the dozens of tools that didn’t work, I had discovered body-based tools that DID work, which skyrocketed my results and got me to being 100% symptom free.
When I was suffering I made a commitment that if I ever could become symptom free (I never thought I actually would, lol), that I would spend the rest of my life helping others heal. I spent tens of thousands of hours and dollars studying under the top trauma and mental health experts in the world, as well as constantly perfecting my method until it would bring rapid results no matter how long someone had been suffering. I based my method off evidence-based tools as well as the work and understanding of experts such as Dr. Steven Porges, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter A Levine, and Dr. Joseph LeDoux just to name a few.
Yes, here I am. Like Forest Gump fulfilling his promise to Bubba that he would become a shrimp boat captain, I am at your service. :) I created the Trauma Free Academy as a resource to help you find the healing you have been searching for but have only been met with confusion. I don’t want you to have to make the many mistakes I made that wasted so much of my life. I want to show you how to get to the root of your symptoms instead of managing them for years but never getting to 100%. If you’re ready to go on this journey with me, follow me. Also, I have created tons of paid resources as well if you’re wanting more specific and personalized help. Here is what we have to offer:
DISCLAIMER: Nothing I say should by email or in any form of communication replace a consultation with a licensed mental health professional and doctor for diagnosis and treatment. I am unable to diagnose or treat any sort of medical or mental health condition. I am also unable to prescribe medication or give any advice about medication other than my general opinion. Anything I say in any form of communication is my personal opinion and should be treated as such and not taken as medical advice or seen as an attempt to diagnose or treat any sort of medical or mental health condition. Thank you.

I TRUST no one. Sorry. I've been single over 20 years. All the symptoms you mentioned I can relate to most of them. They were milestones on the journey. I've come to peace about the betrayal. It's in the past. I try not to look in my rear view mirror. I livein the present. And some people, other than the person who shattered my soul, I love from a distance. I believe the entire experience is like going through the valley of the shadow of death. It takes time to come out on the other side. And you come out an entirely different person. Hard lessons learned. Even about yourself.

[@gregpenner2876]

Eventually,after years of repeated betrayals,you just sigh and move on without a thought. Learn to expect it from everyone to some degree and conduct yourself accordingly.

[@Haley497]

And the saddest part is all the love you have to give petrifies and is never directed at yourself. It gets stuck inside, because you learn to not invest, that nothing ever means anything, so you feel less and less each time. Does make it much easier to move on, but it sucks.

[@aprilhibbler1430]

I agree

[@42BETWO]

Betrayal is felt before seen. It begins in a heart gone cold; from a parent then, a lover now-present, but somewhere else, with someone else. Hostile indifference. Behaviors might be hard to distinguish from what an abusive childhood established as normal. Betrayal, tolerated.

I think that morality comes from the broken people that wish for a better world. Those that haven’t seen the darkness in its truest form have no place speaking on right and wrong.

My wife who’s in the military betrayed the heck out of me so badly too and I’m here to let you know that I feel your pain! We have 2 kids and during that time my daughter was 3 and son 6. She suddenly realized she didn’t want to be a wife anymore and filed for custody while we slept in the same bed. During that time she was PCS to a new location so far it would have been impossible for me to see the consistently. Mind you I never hit her, cheated on her did drugs or any of that. Long story short, I won custody and she PCS to WA state. It’s been 3 years now of straight neglect from her when it came to the kids emotionally and financially. But just the other day she asked if we could work things out without apologizing for trying to take the kids, breaking our family dismantling my trust and cheating. So I said no, hell no!

[@raecoleman-wf2cp]

Yes..... I could see that. I ignored so many signs and tried to stick it through, but then years later realizing that they were COMPLETELY wrong and scandalous sets in, and I feel like a dumbass for even allowing such disrespect for all these years. It took for me to have a child by them (actually 2, the first child didn't make it) and then the veil was snatched off. After that final betrayal (he was on the DL, he really liked men) I started to see all the f'd up shit he did leading to this. It really took a major stab at my womanhood, hell, I just had a whole baby and he's been ducking to a man the whole time, not to mention other shit. He'd basically mess around with ANYBODY, young women, way older women, got with my best friend (which, I remained friends with but now I found out she's been messing with ANOTHER ex of mine 😢), he slanged his shit EVERYWHERE WITH ANYBODY. There was a neighbor PREGNANT at the same time as me. And, the WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD KNEW. The Epitome of The Hood. So now I have to try to get over ALL of this. It's hard asf. But I'm trying. 😢

[@AesopsRetreat]

Forgiving is exactly like saying you excuse them.

[@coachjordanhardgrave]

Forgiveness doesn't excuse what they did. Forgive is for you not them. Forgiveness allows you to move on. And it doesn't mean you have to connect with them ever again.

[@Christdeliverme]

@@coachjordanhardgrave Incorrect brother, you know forgiveness is because it's what Jesus tells us to do; because of how much He's forgiven us. Telling people forgiveness is for (us), its another way to shunt pain, but it fails the goodness and lesson that we can learn and gain from it. I've been through some horrific rejection and abandonment and losing nearly everything. People that have heard my story have likened it to nearly everyone shy of Christ Himself in the Bible, all at once. Why, I don't know. I'm just some random guy. But I do know, for sure, that we forgive because we are commanded to and that is in response to Jesus' forgiveness of our sins against Him. Difference here is it's always a two way street as far as pain is concerned, except Jesus is completely innocent - yet forgave us, completely, never to be brought up again. "As far as the east is from the west." Also, I feel for you, I too know the brutal sting of putting your trust in someone you trusted God placed in your life only to be used as a weapon against you.

[@cassandras9691]

Jesus said " Forgive them father for they know not what they do." He did not say "Father forgive them they know what they do." These monsters know exactly what their doing when they abuse you to the point of endless tears and unmanageable pain. Forgive yourself for ever trusting these demons and don't ever deal with them again because 9 out 10 times they will betray you again. Let's see if God forgives them. God talks about wrath and hell for a reason ! I don't think God wants any of these demons in his kingdom terrorizing heaven with the same abuse they did here on earth. The other thing I've noticed is it's always the abuser who expects forgiveness not the other way around. Best advice I ever found was go NO CONTACT and don't ever trust them and their flying monkeys again. If you can't go no contact go grey rock and stay in your own lane. They don't change..

[@vetercrew85]

I hear you. I struggle with forgiveness; the term itself irritates me. I sometimes think the idea of forgiveness was invented by perpetrators so they can get away with bad behaviour. My husband betrayed me. While I want to work with him to repair the damage done to our relationship, I will never forgive him, and it's not a requirement that I do. Being told I have to forgive feels like gaslighting.

[@meowmirrr]

I have definitely experienced betrayal several times in my life. It has taken me 75 years to grasp what some people are capable of, to understand that I am allowed too have boundaries and simply have those in my life that I trust and not have those in my life who have betrayed me. I must be a slow learner about this because it was truly hard for me to believe that some folks, even family, are actually devious, and do not seem too have a ceiling on what they allow themselves to do in order to shift blame and responsibility onto others. It has been a sad awakening, but I'm living the remainder of my life completely free of manipulators 😁 and also free from anger. Blessings for your work 🌿

Me too, learned this hard lesson quite late in life. what a waste of my precious energy and time.

[@ConveyApp]

My wife of 17 yrs, had an affair partner for over a year. The hardest part was she had signs of mental illness, and substantial alcohol consumption that turned violent towards me 4 yrs earlier. She had never drank prior to that. The hardest part was that I got the absolute worst parts of my wife as I actively tried to help her for 4 yrs and this other man got her absolute best at the same time. I haven’t spoken to her or interacted with her in almost a year. Her life has absolutely fallen apart.

[@Onibocho11]

This was good. I have had a hard time forgiving the person who betrayed me. The resentment has been overwhelming at times. Thus, I have a very hard time trusting anyone else except my immediate family.

[@garybrooker312]

Nearly 2 years since the betrayal ambush after 19 years of what I thought was a happy love ship and marriage. Relocated from Oregon to Tasmania Australia 10 years ago for her. Had a wonderful happy home in the bush. Consistently did so many joyous things together. Scuba, music, bush walk. I was happy and she appeared to be too. Until one day I found her naked with her phone pointed at her and Bill participating in this intimate act. She could put on her smiling I love you face for me and yet this was what she was doing. She informed me that she was no longer in love with me. She never told me what had gone wrong. She sold the house and moved away. Seems so cruel when nothing is communicated as to a reason. Wouldn't make it right or kinder. Just maybe easier to deal with. Two years and a lot of sadness, confusion, and pain. Thanks for the video!

... I ache and feel your pain. Devastation.

[@Mr60minor]

My heart aches for you. I pray for your total healing and restoration. This may sound strange... it's been over 20 years for me....but actually those who betrayed did us a huge favor. I realized I had been deceived from the get go. And no one wants to live a LIE. I would not have wanted to be an object of manipulation at any time. The illusion was shattered. And that's a hard lesson. But in the end most of us want authenticity and a heart of gold. There are givers and takers in this world. And many shape shifters and fickle people who are only in a relationship for what they can obtain. So we've learned hard hard lessons. Give yourself time to grieve. You are wiser and stronger at the end of the tunnel. God bless you sir.❤

[@boyfmbalcatta]

What you are talking about is very real for me, as a late infant adoptee, I have lived the 'the trauma' over and over for over fifty years. I developed certain coping strategies, but the damage is embedded and I get older the further from people I seem to go. Some connections are wafer thin! My strongest connections are to the young and animals, because I can read them, they don't lie and I believe I am in my inner self still that scared little boy. I don't want any child I know go through what I have, nor do I want an animal to be as scared as I was (if I can help it). I hope that a person only has to be betrayed once or twice at maximum, being done early and mulpitle times is very hard to deal with.

[@FionaFerguson-ym9iq]

Can betrayal trauma make you question yourself, like is it all my fault? Did I actually deserve this?

Yes it does. But remember it has more to do with the betrayer than the betrayed. There was an issue inside of them that they thought could be fixed by cheating.

[@jvalravn7228]

I think so. I blame myself, especially for the most recent person who betrayed me. It’s been a pattern in my life to be betrayed by whoever I’m friends with or dating. Now I berate myself regularly for believing I was finally worthy enough of being actually cared for, but I wasn’t this last time either. How can I not think I deserve it when I refuse to learn the fact that I’m not wanted or cared for or worthy, and need to just stay away from everyone. Like duh, I’m in my 40s, how has it taken this long to learn something?! Seriously can’t stand myself right now.

This pain of yours is temporary. As much as you might not believe it now. Time is the best remedy, and we don't tend to process it. It's also okay to let feelings out. Be angry, be sad, go nuts... Do what you have to do to flush this out. Do what is comfortable and natural for you. Health comes first. We're already hurting. We don't want to damage it further. We're here to not just hear you but to listen.

My younger brother had a love hate relationship with me. His wife was regularly unfaithfult with him for years and he also betrayed her. Then their daughter told them a lie that I had wanted to seduce her boyfriend. Confronted by them I protested my innocence but in vain. I felt absolutetely powerless. I told my older sister about it and then went on informing every parent cousin aunt I had about that betrayal. That was my salvation. They all took my side. Weeks later when he went to attack me they all rebuked him. Years later he had the gall to tell my younger sister that :"They looked fools in front of evervbody and that it was my fault if they look like fools." He died refusing to apologize but telling me :" I love you." As if I cared. To this day at times , I relived the scene still full of fury at the injustice of it all. I had been for him always protective, generous, taking care to encourage him in his endeavours. Why are people so nasty, are we condemned to live for ever with scorpions and snakes?

Ugh - my very closest friend of 10 years actively and knowingly betrayed my trust on an issue that was extremely personal. It was brutal when it happened and I didn't handle it well at all. Was drinking a lot, raging and all sorts of other unhealthy behaviors. Thankfully tho, talking about it with friends and family really helped and most were shocked when I explained how it all went down. Haven't talked to that person in about 10 years and I have no desire to. I'm not sure I agree with you Jordan about the forgiveness aspect of all this. I don't forgive this betrayal, nor do I forgive the person who did it. To even consider that seems and feels really odd to me. Maybe one day your idea will make more sense but right now, I can't even imagine how that would happen, feel or even occur. It's just too odd for me to even consider. BUT having said that, I don't walk around thinking about this betrayal all the time or even most of the times. VERY RARELY will I think about it, be reminded of it and then have a touch of disappointment then move on.....happy that that person is no longer in my life but also disappointed because we shared some great times together. And then I think "Oh well" and go back to my life.

The older I get the more careful I am with who I date, and so the better the connection and deeper the trust.

I also embarrass myself for how I respond and lash out after finding out. This is life.

I've only just learned about what betrayal trauma is this past week and I have to say it fits my situation and symptoms pretty spot on. I have the movie memory issue where things will play back like I'm watching a movie and relive the situations good and bad over and over. There's not a day I haven't had at least some thought about my ex in some fashion 2 years later. I honestly can't bring myself to date or do the things we used to do. We used to cook together in the kitchen and ever since we've broken up, it's painful to even prepare a meal so I largely eat out to avoid it. I've been trying to just be ok with my situation and give myself a break, but the really messed up part is I miss them and love them and hate them and can't let go of what they pulled on me. Gas lit me for 3 years saying they wanted to be with me and going to make me the happiest husband while cheating on me and hanging out with her ex who broke us up before. He was there even the night I went to drop off her stuff.

[@raecoleman-wf2cp]

Wow....... I'm so sorry 😢 I'm just now also learning about this topic, too, and yes, the symptoms are very spot on. I can't listen to certain music anymore because it reminds me of people and different situations that I was in, I avoid certain places, and I rethink of EVERYTHING that has transpired in my life when it comes to people doing terrible shit towards me, and I'm STILL finding out things about my exes. The bad part is, I cannot leave my hood right now, I say this because I have to face these demons everyday. (These people who betrayed me in the worst of ways). It's hard. I'm also here in this apartment where my uncle sexually assaulted me as a little girl, so yeah, I'm working on getting tf outta here.

I recently experienced a major betrayal by my best friend. In the past 2 years 5 people I’m close to including both of my parents have passed away. My mom passed in May. So I’m already dealing with grief and sorrow. In august my best friend violated my trust by ambushing me and my boyfriend and behaving in such a horrible way that I was furious, hurt, betrayed and saddened. I was speaking to her a little bit, but she thinks the what she did was right and doesn’t see that she was trying to control me. Needless to say her actions led to a break up with the guy. I’ve gone no contact and yes I still love her, but I can no longer trust her. It’s also very painful because I’m her daughter’s godmother. I was definitely spinning for a while going over everything in my head on repeat. Fortunately I have a fantastic therapist that I have been seeing for years so she is helping me deal with that betrayal and also with the grief of losing my parents with 16 months of each other. I am working on forgiving her, but without an apology I don’t see how we move forward. I pray every day for forgiveness, to forgive myself and to forgive her. ❤

​​@@coachjordanhardgraveat age 5 I was molested by an older female cousin who was adopted by my uncle. This lasted a couple of years and when it stopped it really fucked me up. I was of course hypresexualized from an early age but at the same time terrified of rejection. As I got older I was unable to form any kind of relationship with women out of fear associated with that first rejection so I began to numb myself with drugs and alcohol. I have been sober 12 years now but still struggle. I really don't blame the cousin who did this because I think she was repeating something that happened to her without understanding why. What kind of trauma would you call this?Maybe you could make a video on the damage done to men when this is done by an older female because I really think this is completely misunderstood.

Many will never understand what that sort of betrayal feels like till, God forbid, they go through it themselves. Your deceased wife may not be alive today to pay for her betrayal of not just you but your family. If you are a person of faith find solace in knowing she may have manipulated you and your family during those many years but she did not in any way fool God. It’s not for us to be there to see them receive the punishment they have brought upon themselves, nor is it our place to wish it upon anyone. She will answer for all the hurt she knew her infidelity would cause in the pursuit of pleasure. Please Brother, as difficult as your place in life is right now find the courage to endure this in your children. Their eyes look up to yours for courage and they seek the strength of your arms for protection. You are very much loved and appreciated. I pray your mind and heart will be a peace Brother. May the many years to come be filled with happiness for you and your children. Stay strong Brother and God bless.
