"Your pain isn't going to go away by changing your husband; everything you want can only come by transforming yourself."
In this eye-opening episode of Supported Sobriety, Matt and Katie Davis tackle the tricky terrain of self-belief and its impact on relationships, particularly when dealing with a partner's pornography addiction. Katie shares her personal journey, recounting how she learned that the pain she felt wasn't directly from her husband's actions but from the negative beliefs she held about herself.
These beliefs, often formed before the age of eight, can shape how we interpret our partner's behaviours and can lead to feelings of inadequacy. Katie reveals how these core beliefs are not just pesky thoughts but are deeply ingrained perceptions that can be challenged and changed. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own self-beliefs and consider how these might be affecting their lives.
Katie discusses how repetition and emotional evidence can help rewire these beliefs, offering practical steps to start shifting from negative self-talk to more empowering thoughts. Her anecdotes about family trips to the beach serve as a metaphor for overcoming triggers and embracing healing. By sharing her experiences and insights, Katie provides hope and a path forward for those feeling stuck in cycles of betrayal and hurt.
If you've ever wondered how your childhood experiences might be influencing your adult relationships or if you're seeking ways to improve your self-esteem amidst challenging circumstances, this episode offers valuable guidance. It's a heartfelt reminder that healing starts from within, and changing your narrative can transform your life. So why not take a moment to ponder what lies you might be telling yourself and how you can start believing in your own worth?
