The worst part of betrayal is deception.
I’ve shared this with clients many times, and every single time, I’m careful about how I say it. I always make sure to add, “I’m not trying to minimize the betrayal.” Because betrayal is devastating. It’s never okay. But even so, the deception makes it so much worse.
Without fail, every client I’ve said this to has agreed. They’ve said, “Yes, you’re so right.”
Deception means you don’t know if you’re safe or not. It means you don’t know what else is being lied about. It leaves you unable to create safety because the information you’re being given is inaccurate.
If you feel like deception is the worst part of betrayal for you, you’re not crazy. That feeling is real, and in my experience, it’s true for nearly every person I’ve worked with.
