Your Beliefs
Scared Women believe deep down that their painful relationship pasts will keep repeating themselves; and, as a result, they become too terrified to let down their guard. They are continually attracted to men who are not available because it’s safe. They return to exes who should stay in the past. When men who could be good matches come into their worlds, they are not attracted to them, put up walls, or simply leave.
How This Belief Serves You
You get to feel safe, which makes you feel in control. You may make it look like you are “trying” to date, but the truth is that you give priority to the other things in your life. You may be secretly (or openly) in contact with an ex or someone you know isn’t good for you, but you keep him at arm’s length—or he consistently disappears and reappears reinforcing your fears. As a result, you are “right” about why it’s not safe to open up your heart again. Your feelings are easily buried behind “business” or other distractions; and, as a result, you to rationalize, justify, and cope with everything that happens in your love life rather than deal with your fears.
My past does not define me, nor must it repeat. I am loveable. It is safe to be vulnerable. Everything is working out perfectly for my highest good. I am safe.
The Consequences of Holding On to This Belief
You will continue to attract men who are emotionally unavailable, proving that you are right about giving you good reason to keep up your walls. You don’t trust yourself, and you may not trust men. You are afraid of being left, hurt, or betrayed. You may be waiting for someone from your past to “change.” You get used to having crumbs and thus accept small bits of love and affection rather than asking for the whole cake. You carry shame, regret, and remorse. You will not experience receiving love wholeheartedly because your man may be emotionally unavailable. You may not feel connected to other women or have strong friendships with women, which causes you to feel like you don’t fit in. You may attract great men, but they sense that you are guarded and may “give up” trying to get you to soften up. You feel isolated, hopeless, and trapped by your past.
Your Goal
Self-forgiveness. Living in the present. Forgiveness of the past. Letting go of unhealthy relationships. Trusting yourself and others. Access your emotions and intuition. Finding and listening to your intuition.
What Interferes with Your Goal
Lack of self-worth. Lack of trust in yourself and others. Feeling as though you will get taken advantage of if you let your guard down. Deep fear to take action. Being stuck in your head. An inability to identify and articulate your needs.
