We love to blame betrayal on one man, one woman, one relationship.
But the truth is harsher and much more important: Your betrayal didn’t begin with him. It began with her, the girl you once were.
In this solo episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we go straight into the fire and unpack how your girlhood wounds made you vulnerable to toxic love, cheating partners, emotional manipulation, and self-abandonment in adulthood.
We explore:
Why your betrayal started long before the first red flag, heartbreak, or affairHow growing up with emotionally unavailable, abusive, or absent caregivers trained you to ignore your body’s warning signalsThe “good girl” conditioning that taught you to be polite, quiet, agreeable, and easy to controlHow watching your mother (or the women who raised you) sacrifice herself became your blueprint for loveWhy you learned to accept crumbs and call it love and why a truly safe, healed man can feel “wrong” or unfamiliarThe 5 core girlhood wounds that made you a magnet for toxic partnersYou were taught to ignore your body’s danger signalsYou learned love by watching a woman sacrifice herselfNo one taught you that your needs matterYou were rewarded for silence and “being a good girl”You were never shown what safe masculinity looks likeThis episode is not polite, pretty, or comfortable.
It’s the truth your mother couldn’t say.
👉 You did not end up with a toxic man by accident.
Your girlhood wounds trained you for him.
But they do not have to define your future.
We close with an invitation to start rewriting your story, not by waiting for an apology from your betrayer, but by becoming the woman your younger self always needed.
Betrayal disconnects women from themselves. This work brings you home.
The Awakening Circle is a 12-week, coach-led program in a small, intimate setting.
We focus on understanding betrayal, rebuilding self-trust, and unwiring the patterns that lead to repeated harm.
Not toxic positivity. Not forced forgiveness.
Just deep, steady repair, so you don’t repeat what hurt you.
✨ Not sure why you keep choosing pain over peace?
Take the free Healing Archetype Quiz and uncover the pattern you didn’t even know was holding you back.
