When the Person You Loved Becomes the Trigger 

When the person you loved becomes the one who hurts you, your whole body feels it. The safety that once lived in their arms now feels like danger, and that confusion runs deep in your nervous system. You’re not weak for missing them or for feeling torn—your brain is simply trying to make sense of two truths at once: love and fear. That’s the paradox of betrayal trauma.

Healing starts when you learn to feel safe again inside your own body. When you breathe through the trigger, when you pause before reacting, when you remember that your safety doesn’t live in someone else—it lives in you. Your brain can rewire for peace, your heart can steady, and your self can come back online. Dr. Trish Leigh can walk beside you through that process with neuroscience-based tools, brain mapping, and gentle guidance. You’re not alone in this.
