When someone breaks your trust, nothing feels the same again. 

But when you break trust with yourself—by ignoring your gut, silencing your truth, or abandoning your needs—it leaves a deeper wound. One that’s almost invisible—not just to others, but often to yourself. 

As survivors of abuse, we often carry guilt—for not leaving sooner, for going back, for not “knowing better.” 

But here’s the truth: You did the best you could with the information, strength, and safety you had at the time. 

And today is a brand-new beginning—not through blame, but by rebuilding trust with yourself, one promise at a time. 

Today’s Healing Practice: 

1. Choose one small promise you can make to yourself today. – Something doable, kind, and rooted in care. 

Example: “I will take 10 minutes to rest today without guilt.” “I will say no if something doesn’t feel right.” 

2. Write it down. Place it where you’ll see it—on a mirror, in your journal, on your phone. 

3. Keep it. No matter how small it feels—keeping that promise matters.

Every time you follow through on a promise to yourself, you whisper: “You can trust me now. I’ve got you.” 

It’s okay if it takes time. Rebuilding trust isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency, grace, and showing up for yourself again and again. 

You are not broken. You are reconnecting—with your voice, your needs, your intuition, and your worth. You are learning to believe in yourself again. And that matters more than you know. 

Tomorrow, we’ll talk about rediscovering your dreams—because healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about remembering what you’re capable of.
