Gwyneth Paltrow opened an old story about feeling betrayed by someone in her close circle. She did not mention the person's name. However, the actress Marty Supreme admitted that her anger still felt even though the incident had happened several years ago.

According to a report by People quoted on Saturday, May 30, Paltrow discussed this with psychotherapist and writer Esther Perel in the Goop podcast episode, "AI and Modern Dating", which aired on Tuesday, May 26. Psychotherapists are experts who help people deal with emotional, mental, and relationship problems through talk therapy.

"I was thinking about a situation where someone broke my trust and I had a kind of big anger about it," Paltrow told Perel.

Paltrow, 53, said the feeling was very strong.

"If I say my inner dialogue is loud now, it would be very surprising," he said.

The Iron Man actress then asked Perel if such a reaction was normal when someone felt betrayed.

Although he did not explain who hurt him, Paltrow admitted that the incident still weighed on him.

"I'm still really dragged by that feeling," said the Oscar winner. "But it's universal, isn't it? If you really trust someone and he betrays you?"

People reported, Perel explained that betrayal is not just about the actions of others. The impact can be deeper when the person who hurts does not admit his actions. Victims can start to doubt themselves.

"The next impact of the breakdown of trust is when I stop believing in myself because of it," said Perel, author of Mating in Captivity.

According to Perel, wounds from broken trust can still follow a person, even when the perpetrator has long been absent in his life.

The conversation then shifted to infidelity. Paltrow asked if a couple who had experienced a breach of trust could still trust each other.

Perel answered briefly: yes. However, he emphasized that this path is not always possible for all couples.

Paltrow also asked if infidelity in a business trip could feel as heavy as having a serious relationship outside of a couple.

"For some people, a one-night stand is just as painful as a 20-year affair," Perel replied.

Paltrow did not reveal who he meant. He only referred to the experience as a breach of trust that still left a strong feeling until now.
