Become A Trauma Informed Coach
You Weren’t Dramatic. You Were Betrayed.
Jul 16, 2025 Season 4 Episode 93
Lindsay Poelman

For centuries, we’ve been told to move on, stay quiet, be grateful, or trust the system—whether that system was religious, medical, familial, or societal. But what if the very institutions we were taught to trust are where the deepest betrayals took root?

In this raw, deeply personal episode, I walk you through a trauma-informed lens of betrayal in all its forms—and why naming it is not "playing the victim," but a powerful act of nervous system repair and reclamation.

We explore:

  • 🔥 What betrayal trauma actually is (and why it lives in the body)
  • 💔 The hidden cost of religious, medical, and societal betrayals
  • 😶‍🌫️ How women especially are conditioned to betray themselves to belong
  • 🧠 What neuroscience and trauma research say about repair, healing, and hope
  • 💡 Why witnessing ruptures is sacred—not shameful
  • 🌿 My own story of healing from personal and systemic betrayals

If you've ever felt dismissed, gaslit, silenced, or ashamed for being too sensitive or too much—this one is for you. Your wounds are real. And your healing? It’s revolutionary.
