Betrayal is one of the hardest things that you will have to deal with in your life. It is very disheartening and hurtful when the one that you love has betrayed your trust. You can walk away from this situation feeling used, abused, taken advantaged of and often times you are left feeling like a fool.
Being played is never easy but it happens to the best of us and you can make it through this. The goal is to come out on the other side being better and not bitter. Betrayal is one of life’s best teachers. It can teach you to make better decisions, trust your intuition and heed the red flags and warning signs early on in the relationship. Love is not a logical emotion, and betrayal happens most times because you chose to love with your whole heart and allow yourself to be vulnerable even when you may recognize that the person you choose to love is not the best fit for you. Love often involves taking a leap of faith and taking a risk. Nothing in life is guaranteed and matters of the heart can be unpredictable. If you have been betrayed in love try to focus on the good memories from the situation and strive to live with no regrets. When you have good intentions you always win. Healing from betrayal is difficult but certainty not impossible. Moving beyond betrayal involves allowing yourself to grieve and process through the stages of grief in the same way that you must do when you lose someone through death. Betrayal signals the death of the relationship as you once knew it and the death of the future with this person that you once longed for. Some of our biggest losses can manifest into a victory. Claim Your Victory.
In this video I talk about five tips for healing beyond betrayal:
- Don’t Blame Yourself
- Get You a Me (Seek Professional Support-Therapist, Coach, Holistic Healer)
- Closure is a Scam, you do not need to seek “closure” from the person who betrayed you
- Don’t Seek Revenge
- Block Him (deny further access to you, The No Contact Rule)
