You Are Not the Story They Tell – Reclaiming Your Self-Worth After Betrayal
Oct 17, 2025
When someone spreads falsehoods about you or distorts your character to serve their own narrative, it can be deeply destabilizing. Not just because it’s unjust—but because it can quietly erode your self-worth if left unaddressed.
1. The Identity Fracture
When you hear how someone has misrepresented you, especially someone close, you might feel like something inside you has been split.
2. The Danger of Absorbing Their Narrative
Even if you know the truth, repeated exposure to false narratives can start to seep in. You begin to wonder: Maybe I did come across that way… What if others believe them more than me?
3. Reclaiming the Mirror
Self-worth is not a trophy someone else gives you. It’s a mirror you hold up for yourself. Reclaiming your self-worth means aligning with your own energy rather than their distortion.
4. The Midline as a Mirror of Truth
When you reconnect with your emotional midline, you begin to feel what’s real. You stop reacting to the story and start responding from your centre.
Reconnecting with your energetic truth also includes revisiting your values. Ask yourself: What do I truly stand for? Where is the incongruence between my values and the behavior of the person who betrayed me?
