Meditation FAQ
-
Meditation provides a safe space for you to process and release emotions in a controlled, calm environment. It helps you connect with your inner self, acknowledge painful feelings, and begin to heal. By focusing on breath and mindfulness, you can gain clarity, emotional balance, and eventually peace, helping you manage the overwhelming feelings of betrayal in a healthier way.
-
It's perfectly normal for strong emotions to arise during a meditation, especially when dealing with something as painful as betrayal. If this happens, the goal is not to suppress those emotions but to allow them to be felt without judgment. You may be gently guided to stay present with those emotions, allowing them to move through you. If you feel too overwhelmed, stop the meditation and consult with your individual therapist or medical provider.
-
Meditation can support you in gaining emotional clarity and strengthening your resilience, but rebuilding trust is a process that takes time. The meditation will not "fix" everything in one session, but it will help you start to release the pain and open your heart to healing. It will also support you in setting boundaries and making decisions that prioritize your emotional safety, which can eventually allow you to trust again—whether that’s others or even yourself.
