That familiar kind of pain
We’ve all been betrayed before. Sometimes it’s not the act itself that causes problems, but the ripple effect in the days, months and even years after.
The shift in reality is in full swing.
The self-doubt kicks in.
What did I believe before?
How do I remove myself and separate myself from this web of lies?
Here are 10 to let go of betrayal.*
1. If you can, decrease your responsibility
We can never control other people’s actions. Only our reactions to the things they do.
While my mind and body was in shock, I knew it was time to take action. Drastic action. I went into robotic mode. I held it together and found a source of stable income. I deferred my degree, knowing I could only handle minimal responsibility in the months ahead.
You see, self-awareness can be really useful. Knowing what you can and cannot handle is key to healing.
2. FEEL your emotions
Many people have mentioned in conversations that the world is going “soft”. Everyone is offended and sensitive.
