Speaking Point: Being betrayed... well no need to sugar coat it. It sucks. AND as an Intimacy Expert & Relationship Coach, for 15 years I've seen people grow into their best selves through challenge... like the caterpillar through the dark, tight cocoon out into the soaring life of a butterfly....
Here are steps that work for me, for my clients and with a little luck, you.
Speaking Point: 1. Honor your Feelings: stuffing them makes things worse. Hit a pillow, take a foam baseball bat and hit the ground. Scream, swear until you get to the place where you'll probably cry... Speaking Point: 2. Let the Tears Take you Deep: After the anger... the tears will let you know what been deeply triggered, body image issues may stem from not getting appreciation or attention as a child... Speaking Point: 3. Give What you never Got: When you find the part of you who feels ugly, unappreciated, the ONLY one in the whole world who can transform her potently is YOU. Hold her, praise her, admire her, cherish her, build a relationship of trust, acknowledgment, acceptance and kindness with her... Speaking Point: 4. Forgive: Not condone, but forgive... Thank you FORGIVing me the experience of betrayal for now I'm (and journal as many answers as you can come up with) now I've learned to love a part of me I always abused, now I have stronger boundaries, now I trust myself more to choose a partner who honors me, now I know my worth more deeply than ever, now jealously never stops me again.... etc. Speaking Point: 5. Get Clear on What you're Ready to HAVE: Are you ready to have love of your body? love of yourself? no more self judgment? a shining open heart that attracts a man that honors, values and cherishes you? Ready to dissolve all barriers to having deep love of self and the best relationship of your life? TELL THE UNIVERSE! Allow this experience to be the spring board from which you soar into the BEST relationship of your life... because you have fallen madly in love with YOU, exactly as you are.
