#75 When You're Not Heard: Minimization's Role in Prolonging Betrayal Trauma
Description
In this episode of Choosing to Stay After Infidelity and Betrayal, we explore the painful dynamics that occur when a betrayed spouse feels dismissed, minimized, or unheard by their partner. After the trauma of infidelity, it's crucial for both partners to validate each other's feelings to heal and rebuild trust. But when the pain is downplayed, dismissed, or ignored, it deepens emotional wounds, creates feelings of unsafety, and prolongs the healing process.
