Recognize and accept your emotions, whether it’s anger, sadness, or disappointment. Allow yourself to process these feelings.
Reach out to trusted colleagues, friends, or mentors who can provide guidance and emotional support. Sharing your experience can help you feel less isolated.
If appropriate, address the issue directly with the person involved. Rather than putting blame entirely, try communicating how you felt in that situation.
Take time to analyse what happened and why. Sometimes, understanding the context can help you gain perspective and clarity about the betrayal.
Establish clear boundaries to protect yourself from further betrayal.
Channel your energy into your job and concentrate on your goals. Staying productive can help you regain confidence.
If the betrayal is severe and impacts your well-being, evaluate whether it’s worth staying in the current workplace. Sometimes, finding a new environment is the only best option for your mental health.
