Nobody likes to talk about it, but heartbreak and betrayal happen to just about everyone. If it has happened to you, what do you do? How can you get over someone so soon after they've hurt you?
In this post we'll explore the nature of betrayal and what might have caused this person in your life to act so unfavorably towards you. We'll also discuss how long the healing process takes for different types of relationships and how long it takes a person's mental health after being betrayed. Then we'll end on a positive note and talk about how you can start to move forward with your life.

Although I think that all of us have experienced some kind of betrayal due to our relationships with others, what I will focus on in this post are the questions of:
How do you deal with betrayal? How long does it take to heal? What is the recovery time for a bad relationship? Do you need counseling after betraying someone? Is it okay to forgive someone who has betrayed you? What are the kinds of relationships that require counseling after being betrayed by someone close to you?
What is Betrayal, and how does it feel being betrayed by someone close to me.
Betrayal is a concept that is closely related to betrayal. However, betrayal sometimes is a choice from the other person, and betrayal includes situations in which the other person has been unreasonable or unfair towards you. The goal of this post is to explain what kind of relationships require counseling after betrayed by someone close to you, and how long the healing process takes for different types of relationships.

First of all, let's talk about what you should expect from hearing the news that someone betrayed you. If a person's actions was out of character for them (i.e.- they weren't lying but were rude), then definitely it can feel like a betrayal because it doesn't fit with how they usually act/ what we thought they might do. However, sometimes people do something out of character, and it doesn't mean that betrayal has taken place.
When betrayal occurs, it is reasonable to feel hurt. If you are afraid of betrayal, or if being betrayed is a reoccurring thing in your life (so many times that you're afraid to trust anyone), then I think seeking counseling would be a great idea.
Therapists can help with healing from the emotional pain that comes along with being betrayed by someone close to you or even by someone who was just an acquaintance. Therapy also can teach coping skills so you're not as hurt when these things happen again in your life.
