Episode notes

Many people don’t see what’s right in front of them. In close relationships that provide a sense of identity or belonging, some people may unconsciously wear blinders so they don’t have to address problems that might threaten an important connection that provides security or attachment. Eventually, when these people open their eyes and examine what they’ve overlooked, they are in a state of shock, fear, anger, and pain. In this episode, we explore “betrayal blindness, a freeze response where an individual stays in denial to sustain a crucial bond.
