When we suffer any betrayal, personal or political, it often evokes five common reactions: 

• A call for vengeance, vindication, or retribution that leads to obsession about the betrayal
• Demonizing or dehumanizing the betrayer
• Generalizing the negative to others through stereotyping, prejudice and bigotry
• Self-betrayal--where we no longer trust ourselves or our judgement
• Suspicion, fear, control, and manipulation to protect against future betrayals

Whether your lover let you down, your co-worker stabbed you in the back, or your life has been shattered from global events -- you can get past the pain and agony of betrayal and build a new life based on truth and Self-trust.
