One of the most painful experiences is the feeling of being betrayed, especially by someone you love and trusted. Betrayal hurts and you will feel the stab in the heart. i guess It’s natural to feel hurt, angry, resentful, and even to want to close your heart as a way to protect yourself from the pain.
So my solution is this acknowledge the hurt, feel it, express it, but don’t let it shut you down. As you feel the pain, know that it will pass and you will rise up again. As painful as it may be, we are resilient and stronger than you can ever imagine.
Not having had much experience with betrayal I think its natural to feel like a victim, but this only disempowers you and your ability to create the future you want. So give up any sense of victimhood.
It takes courage to take responsibility for what happened to you, especially when you felt you were wronged. You can’t control what and how people behave towards you, so if you stay focused on this, you will stay stuck in pain. However, you can control how you respond. When you stay stuck in anger and resentment, you give the person who hurt you much power over you.
No one is worth your happiness and freedom.
If you have been betrayed, take your power back by forgiving those that hurt you, as well as forgiving yourself for any judgements towards yourself for what you should or could have done.
