1. Betrayal in a relationship can cause trauma because it can shatter some of the deepest assumptions people rely on: "I am safe with this person," "I can trust my perceptions," and "I matter to someone who is supposed to care for me." When those assumptions suddenly broken, nervous system may react as a threat to survival, and you will go into fight or flight mode.
2. Betrayal is traumatizing because attachment is involved. Romantic partners are often attachment figures, people that we depend on for emotional safety, comfort, and support. A serious or repeated betrayal can activate the same alarm systems that have evolved to respond to threats of survival.
3. The trauma is often less about the event itself and more about how overwhelming, unexpected, and destabilizing it is. Discovering a betrayal can create a sudden sense that your life and reality has changed or even been destroyed.
