Navigating Betrayal Without Losing Your Truth
Alison delves into the painful experience of betrayal in love and how we can step into our own healing and move past the betrayal.
Drawing from her own experience, she explores the shame, anger, and upset that arises when our beliefs about love and trust are shattered, and how it feels like everything we thought was true has been taken away.
She offers perspectives for how we can navigate and accept betrayal without attaching it to our self-worth or harboring resentment toward the person who betrayed us.
“There is no shame in trusting. There is no shame in opening our hearts. Every single one of us is negotiating how much of ourselves to open and how much to give away. If it turns out that it's not reciprocated, that is not a failure on us. But it is certainly something to learn from.”
