WHERE IT COMES FROM
the source of self-betrayal
1 Growing up in an invalidating environment (chaotic, unstable,
abusive, etc). Attachment to primary caregiver is threatened
2 Child learns that you need to minimize/adapt your own needs
to the dysfunctional environment to ensure safety and security
If caregiver dismisses, ignores or doesn’t make space for your
emotional needs, then you don’t learn how to identify those
3 needs and get them met
4 Trauma like this makes your needs seems so big that you
believe your support system couldn't possibly bear to help you
meet them
5 Child learns that it’s not safe to share your needs, so you
yourself don’t make room for them. Self-betrayal can be
deeply linked to your sense of security in this world
