Even years after the incident with Mindy, the author didn’t seem keen on forgiveness or rebuilding the burnt bridge. Experts say the pain from this kind of betrayal tends to linger for a while.
As psychotherapist Holly Roberts tells The Guardian, these feelings “can sit with you for a long time.” And for the most part, it is due to shame that fuels regret and self-resentment.
“People feel embarrassed,” Roberts said. “They think: how could I have opened myself up to this person and let them do this to me? How could I have been so naive?”
University of Oregon psychology professor Dr. Jennifer Freyd coined the term “betrayal trauma,” which describes the magnitude of pain that treachery can cause. This can be prevalent when a best friend inflicts hurt.
“The very place where you should be able to get help and protection from the harms of life becomes the source of harm,” Dr. Freyd said. “We are a social species; when someone betrays us, it’s a real threat to our wellbeing.”
It can be difficult to recover from being betrayed by a close friend, which is why licensed professionals like clinical counselor Dr. Rachel O’Neill advise allowing yourself space to grieve.
From there, consider your next steps, including whether or not you will forgive.
“Accepting an apology and forgiving are also two separate concepts,” Dr. O’Neill told Teen Vogue. “It’s possible for you to accept the apology but then also not be prepared to let the person back into your life right away.”
What makes Mindy come off as an evil person was the elaborate deception she pulled off. Not only did she inflict pain on her best friend, but also on George, her partner. Worse, she is a repeat offender with the scamming.
Exposing Mindy for who she is on the local news channel was warranted and a much-deserved comeuppance for such a horrible individual.
