I cannot get over a breakup - its been just over a year. I think about it constantly,

we ended due to distance and constraints amicably. however I found out he was dishonest about some things and he refuses to take accountability and has turned things to make me look bad. I am angry. I cannot get my answers or have my voice heard

I'm so sorry to hear your situation, I can imagine that you feel quite alone at the moment.

It's hard to gain trust back from people when they have hurt you, I can imagine that it has knocked your confidence, and worth. Understanding yourself better is one of the greatest tools that you can have. Rejection is a bitter pill to swallow, and can really consume you. It sounds like you're having to deal with that all on your own. Loved ones can offer advice, and be well meaning but when you're facing it yourself it's difficult to know where to go with it. 

Talking with a person that doesn't know you, or your situation can be of benefit to you. It's also a brave move to say you need help, a lot of people will not admit that. I would love to know more about this relationship. What do you want to get from it? It's about being honest with yourself, and what you're willing to put up with. Boundaries are a great thing in relationships. It helps us to safeguard ourselves, from other people hurting us, a bit like a castle with a moat, you can choose to let in who you want, by the bridge. The beauty of boundaries is that you don't have to let all people in. I hope that makes sense for you.

I would love to work with you, to build your self esteem and worth, to empower you. I would like to show you that there are some people that you can trust. You do have a voice. We cannot change other people but we can change ourselves. 

If we let other people treat us badly, there is an issue in us that needs sorting. When a knight goes to battle they are shielded, they have their armor around their heart so that arrows do not get through.

By talking over those issues that hurt you, you're bringing it into the light, where healing can start.

Please feel free to book a session with myself, where we can begin to work on you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Take care
