251: Managing Deceit

Last month, we found ourselves in the middle of a string of traumatic lies at the hands of someone we trusted on the most vulnerable level.  Managing that kind of deceit was overwhelming.  It took some time to figure out how to move forward.

When someone breaks your trust in a big way, it’s easy for your mind to go to dark places.  It’s easy to give into fear.  It’s easy to make up stories in your head that do not serve you.

In this episode, I’ll share how someone deceived my family and our community.  I’ll also share how I managed this situation.  As someone who can’t even handle being told a white lie, this was a tough situation for me.  But I learned how to not make it about me and how to move on, even feeling some compassion for the person who caused so much harm.

I’m sharing this episode in hopes it will help others who have been deceived on any level and might be struggling to process the deceit and move forward.
