Episode notes
People-Pleasing Costs Your Safety
- Prioritizing others' approval over your safety signals low self-worth rooted in childhood patterns.
- John highlights that keeping peace with family can cost your integrity and safety.
Check Family Safety Before Telling
- Test family support before disclosing by asking, "Can I trust y'all with some really hard stuff?".
- If they weaponize your safety, stop relying on them and find other supports.
Betrayal Reflects Their Inner Wound
- Cheating signals about the cheater's inner struggles, not your worth, even though it triggers old abandonment fears.
- John reframes betrayal as the cheater's problem, separating action from your value.
