2. We understand how challenging rebuilding trust after betrayal can be in an intimate relationship. At the Jessica Yaffa Coaching Institute, our coaches often work with individuals and couples surrounding this topic. While we know that every relationship is unique and nuanced, we offer three steps to resolution and trust following betrayal.

3. What Counts as Betrayal in Relationships? While one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of “betrayal” might be infidelity, betrayal in relationships comes in many forms. You may feel a loss of trust if your partner speaks about intimate relationship details without your permission, chooses the needs of others over yours, breaks a promise, or disregards your boundaries. No matter the act of betrayal, your feelings are valid, and there are ways to rebuild trust and find success in your intimate relationship if you so choose.

4. 3 Key Steps 1. Genuine Apology A genuine apology from the offending party is crucial to rebuilding trust after betrayal. This is the basis from which a resolution grows. Without a genuine apology it is extremely difficult to rebuild trust.

5. 2. Continued Action Consistent and continued behavior change is a second key component of rebuilding trust after betrayal. Actions that align with spoken promises or commitments signify that both parties are taking the rebuilding of trust seriously and committed to overcoming infidelity or other breaches of trust.

6. 3. Open Communication Allowing the person who broke trust to share their perspective and communicate their feelings is our final recommendation for rebuilding trust after betrayal. While it may feel difficult to give your partner space to share their feelings when you’re the one that has been betrayed, it is beneficial to moving forward and preventing similar situations in the future. It is crucial for both parties to feel heard when reconciling after broken trust and betrayal.
