You were thus brokenhearted by a two-faced liar. I deal with many folks who, figuratively speaking, have indeed been ran through by a narcissist’s for in automobile. Initially, they are naturally bewildered, devastated, infatuated, and mental distress to the manipulative sociopath with whom they were connected. However, as they improve and work hard to regulate their nervous system, those who begin to entertain the prospect of (gasp) partnering again. And whenever they do, they always have the same question:
“Why do I possibly believe again after having been in a selfish relationship?”
The response I offer is seldom one they appreciate, and it’s one that each client must accept when they are serious about improving and not repeating the same mistake. – You learn to rely on oneself with a first making apologies and mending the cracks in your damaged connection with yourself. Therefore, certainly, the individual with whom you were connected may have committed heinous crimes. They might have misled to you. Somebody may have experimented on you. Certainly, they drove you insane and caused you to doubt your sanity. Indeed, they did each of those things, plus likely more.
Let Me Provide You with A Scenario to Illustrate
They misled with us at any time. And humans know they’re cheating on a bodily, somatic level – we’d receive a small whisper of such a signal that things were not right.
That wasn’t always even a mumble. It was occasionally a scream!
Rather than paying attention to our bodies’ warning flags, we ignored the physical 5-alarm inferno of warnings blaring within us and chose others and their world over ourself. To retain the one that we had before them, we destroyed our connection with ourselves. By doing so, we inadvertently chose insanity. That continuous behavior constituted a breach of confidence in oneself that needed to be repaired in order to go ahead.
The First Place to Start Is Within Yourself
One should make reparations with the portion of oneself that has been deceived and trampled the most; you must accept responsibility but also reestablish trust only with part of oneself that has been disregarded or given very little regard or care. We must also do so in the areas where we are least confident, such as our relationships with our internal knowing but also our bodies. In doing this, we develop the required self-trust and solid limits in ourselves, resulting in a natural trust inside the world and those surrounding. This occurs because we’ve practiced reading, listening, and appreciating the indications that our body, intuition, inner knowing is sending us.
