We think of betrayal as something others do to us, but the deepest wounds often come from within. This is a story about recognizing, breaking, and finally healing the cycle of self-betrayal.
"Betrayal doesn’t start when someone deceives us. It starts the moment we abandon ourselves" <3
Self-trust really is key. Its a hard truth to accept initially, especially when the impulse to self abandon is protective - betrayal 'marks' the self as unsafe, and who among us wants to willingly stay somewhere unsafe? Though there is no guarantee that the other will not betray me, I can offer myself a guarantee to not flee myself.
Developing an unshakeable sensed safety in self can only come from the repeated action of choosing (right for) myself.
