Do you believe a relationship can recover fully from betrayal?

Absolutely YES! What's required however, is forgiveness to be extended for the benefit of yourself, not for the one who did all the betraying.

Forgiveness is not about forgiving the other person. Forgiveness is only about forgiving yourself for what you thought had happened ..and then allowing yourself to let it go completely ...and then set yourself free thereafter.

When you feel free of past trauma, forgiveness has remedied the situation.

This is a very mature way of looking at this. I honestly wish I were that wise.

Ah, but you already are that wise! You already have that wisdom in you, we all do! Some of us just need some encouragement to free our wisdom from our grip!
