Betrayal can shake the very ground we stand on—whether it’s personal, relational, or systemic. In this episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, we explore the five levels of betrayal, how they affect the nervous system, and what healing really looks like. You’ll gain language, insight, and tools to begin making sense of your experience and taking the first steps toward rebuilding self-trust from within.

✨ This episode pairs with our downloadable companion guide, available here for free.
