Step 5: Rebuild Your Self-Confidence, Self-Trust, and Self-Respect
When you are wronged in an affair, you often lose your sense of self-confidence, self-trust, and self-respect. Overcoming your negative thoughts and feelings is an important step in rebuilding these vital aspects of your character. Section 2 is about rebuilding them.
Through this exercise, you will regain what self confidence you lost when you discovered the affair.
Here are the seven areas that Dr. Gunzburg will walk you through starting on page 35 of his program.
1. Assuming personal responsibility.
2. Accepting reality.
3. Doing things that satisfy you emotionally and spiritually.
4. Reminding yourself of past successes.
5. Envisioning future success.
6. Reframing failure.
7. Taking confident action.
Using these keys you will unlock any love and respect you might have lost, so you can fully heal and move on after an affair to a happier life and a better relationship.
