Believing in yourself is tough.

Believing in yourself after verbal and emotional abuse is even tougher.

So often we have someone else’s negative words in our head, and it can create a lot of self doubt.

(If you missed it, go back and listen to episode 141. Core 4 Wounds of Narcissistic Abuse: Self Doubt.)

Typically someone dysfunctional (and highly dysregulated) had to put YOU down in order to make THEMSELVES feel better.

It was THEIR projection, THEIR insecurity, masked as inadequacy in you.

But you don’t have to take that on anymore.

Believing in yourself is a choice, and some days we have to consciously choose it, because it’s easier for our brains to NOT believe in ourselves.

Keep listening as I share how to do this.

And if you’d like some help believing in yourself more this year,

Reclaiming your goals, your body, your self worth,

I’d love to help.

No one likes to feel disappointed, but when you’ve gone through emotional abuse, that fear and avoidance is even stronger.

Growing up, you learned the only way you could have value as a person was by pleasing others and essentially preventing them from experiencing a negative emotion.

So if someone was disappointed in you, that was your fault, and thus, your responsibility to “fix.”

I also think of disappointment as a gateway emotion to things like: shame, guilt, regret, inadequacy, etc.

Disappointment isn’t that big or heavy of an emotion; it’s what you make that disappointment (or failure, or missed expectation) mean about you.

Keep listening as we dive further into this concept and how it impacts our ability to set goals, to believe in ourselves, to believe new things about ourselves, and fully heal from trauma and abuse.
