“I just want my old self back.”
It’s one of the most common things women say after betrayal or broken trust. You want to feel happy again. You want your confidence back. You want to look in the mirror and recognize the woman looking back at you.
That’s understandable. You didn’t choose what happened to you.
You can begin choosing who you become.
In this episode of Soul Care with Christy Dunn, we’re talking about why healing isn’t always about going back, and why there may be a woman inside of you that you haven’t even met yet.
We’ll talk about:
- Why “I want my old self back” is often a longing to go back to not knowing
- What betrayal can feel like: being sideswiped by a bus you never saw coming
- Why you need time to recover, but you don’t have to stay on the side of the road forever
- Grieving the woman you used to be, and giving her compassion
- Why you don’t have to go backward to heal
- Coming out of the fire refined instead of ruined
- The small signs that you’re starting to come back to life
- Making room for things you enjoy, even while you’re still healing
- Why isolation makes your world smaller, and why women need other women
One line I hope you remember:
That bus doesn’t get to decide the direction of the rest of your life.
The betrayal wasn’t a gift. You didn’t need to be hurt to become a better woman, and you didn’t deserve what happened. You can still choose to grow, learn, and become someone you’re proud of.
You don’t have to wait until everything in your marriage is fixed to begin enjoying your life. You can be grieving and still have a good day. You can have unanswered questions and still laugh with your girlfriends.
So here’s something to think about this week: When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to? Not because your husband wanted to, not because your kids needed you, not because it was on your list. If you don’t know the answer yet, that’s okay. Just start getting curious.
If you’re ready to stop walking through this alone, I’d love to walk alongside you inside Soul Care Pathway, my 8-week program for women. Community is at the heart of it. You’ll be with a small group of women who understand what you’re carrying, so you don’t have to explain why this is so hard.
