How to Move Forward After Betrayal
There is no right or wrong way to begin moving forward due to the fact that everyone defines what betrayal is differently and experiences it differently. It is not weak to get help. In fact, it carries an incredible amount of strength due to the very nature of vulnerability that is needed.
What is Betrayal?
"The heart of betrayal is any lie or undermining of trust that is a result of an action and/or lie that breaks the established ‘rules’ of the relationship." Betrayal will be the theme through the next few weeks, "as we move forward we will get a deeper look into how it can impact relationships and be rectified."
Creating Space For Vulnerability and Courage
We will explore vulnerability and courage and their role in moving away from passivity. Passivity can become a habit based on previous experiences within our relationships. To be vulnerable with others, we have to first create a safe space within ourselves.
Moving Forward With Acceptance and Humility
A prerequisite for overcoming passivity is acting through acceptance and humility. Being aware of ourselves and where our mindset is takes a lot of courage as well as acceptance that we are good enough as we are and nothing can change God’s love for us.
How Can We Move From Blame to Accountability?
We will take a deeper look into blame and accountability. When we blame ourselves or others for a situation it creates a cycle of victim mentality. Being honest about our feelings and taking accountability for our reactions can be so refreshing!
Who Do You Want to Be: Victim or Hero?
When it comes to our relationships, we are often at the mercy of the circumstance. We can choose to react and respond, but we cannot control outside forces. Everyone has the ability to be a hero, we just have to acknowledge where we are currently!
