In this episode, I sit down with Tara Beall-Gomes — Connecticut's only female Betrayal Trauma specialist — to talk about what happens in the body, mind, and relationship when betrayal enters the picture.
Tara shares her journey into this work, why "betrayal trauma" is a distinct clinical experience from ordinary heartbreak. We dig into what the nervous system actually goes through after betrayal, why so many partners feel like they're "losing their mind," and what real recovery and stabilization look like in practice.
Whether you're navigating this yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers both validation and a real roadmap forward.
