Sharon Nicholson - Betrayal Trauma Therapist

🌱 Betrayal trauma - in all its forms, not just infidelity - including the profound betrayal of narcissistic abuse and childhood relational trauma.

Moving out of survival and back into yourself through body-based therapy.

💻 https://sharon-nicholson.com Hi, I’m Sharon, a trauma therapist with over 19 years of experience supporting high-functioning individuals who are ready to heal from relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, and profound loss. For a decade, I worked as a BACP Accredited Senior Counsellor in the NHS (specialising in Counsellin

g for Depression) before moving into full-time private practice, where I now offer specialist online therapy across the UK. I understand what it’s like to carry the weight of invisible wounds, because I’ve been there myself. My own lived experience deepens my empathy and fuels my passion for helping others reclaim their power, peace, and sense of self. I offer therapy with Brainspotting, and my trauma-informed approach is informed by neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems. This approach helps you release the emotional pain that words alone can’t reach, so you can move beyond anxiety, shame, and overwhelm, to find joy and ease in your life again. If you’re high-functioning and feel stuck in self-doubt, people-pleasing or perfectionism, I’m here to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Feel free to reach out for a free clarity call - let’s explore how therapy can help you come home to yourself.

"I understand why I feel this way... but I still can't seem to move on."

Please know that understanding isn't the same as healing.

Insight is valuable.
But trauma isn't stored only in our thoughts.

It's held in our nervous system too.

That's why simply talking about it isn't always enough.

🌿 When we begin working with both mind and body, something often starts to shift that talking alone couldn't quite reach.

And that shift can feel incredibly freeing.

🌱 If your body still braces for something that already happened - this is why.

Betrayal trauma isn't only about infidelity. It's a parent who chose someone else's comfort over your safety. A friend who spoke about you behind your back. A family who closed ranks around the person who hurt you. A partner whose patterns kept you quietly bracing, long before you had the words for it.

Whatever its shape, the injury is the same: someone you depended on for safety became the source of danger instead.

Your nervous system was doing its job - scanning, searching, trying to find the moment that would finally make sense of what happened, and somewhere along the way, that scanning became the new normal.

So now, a certain tone of voice, and your stomach drops. A silence that goes on a second too long, and you're back there.

You can be somewhere completely safe and still feel your chest tighten, your breath shorten, your whole body pull back - for reasons your mind can't always keep up with.

❤️ This isn't you being too sensitive, or failing to move on. It's a nervous system still trying to protect you from something that already happened.

Talking can help you understand it, but understanding alone doesn't always reach where it's actually held - in the body.

🌿This is where Brainspotting comes in.

Rather than working through language first, it follows where the body is still holding what the mind hasn't fully processed - helping release what talking alone often can't reach.

If this feels familiar, you don't have to keep carrying it on your own.

Warmly
Sharon

Sometimes someone can find a person charming, kind, funny and lovely - even after being told that this same person has mistreated someone else.

That doesn’t make the mistreatment any less real.

An abuser doesn’t stop being an abuser simply because they are nice to you. Unfortunately, the fact that someone is charming to one person can make it even harder for others to acknowledge what happened to someone else.

Both things can be true: they can be lovely to you, and they can still be someone’s abuser.
