After betrayal, kindness toward ourselves can feel impossible. We question everything — including our own worth and intuition. In this episode, Hali Roderick, Certified Partner Coach (APSATS) and trauma-informed guide, explores what it means to rebuild safety within through self-compassion. You’ll learn how to move from self-criticism to self-kindness, from isolation to connection, and from self-betrayal to fierce self-loyalty.
Together, we’ll explore Kristin Neff’s three elements of self-compassion — Self-Kindness, Common Humanity, and Mindfulness — and how they apply to healing betrayal trauma. Hali also introduces the concept of Fierce Self-Compassion, the form of love that protects, sets boundaries, and reclaims your power.
You’ll walk away with practical ways to show yourself both tenderness and strength as you continue rising into wholeness.
