Book summary
Shattered Trust dives into the fragile terrain of relationships, where love and harm often coexist. It explores how betrayal especially within families and childhood can fracture identity and self-worth, often leaving behind lifelong patterns of distrust, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Studies show that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) significantly increase the risk of developing mental health conditions like depression, borderline personality disorder, and substance misuse later in life. Yet, betrayal from those closest to us is often downplayed or buried. Through intimate storytelling and psychological insight, this book unearths those hidden wounds and walks readers through the slow, brave work of repair of rebuilding boundaries, self-belief, and inner safety.
