The effects of being Blindsided

Being blindsided sets off a terrible, overwhelming emotional reaction.

When we are deeply bonded emotionally to someone, and this bond is fractured, it feels like the ground collapses beneath us.

Your nervous system immediately goes into high alert.

You feel threatened, afraid, confused and disoriented.

It’s that fight, flight or freeze response that kicks in.

You thought you knew the truth about something, and when you are blindsided, your body reacts and tries to protect you, but this often makes it harder for you to function, and you feel fucking lost and useless, and humiliated.

Your mental state is affected as you try to make sense of how your world has changed.

Your confidence is shattered as you wonder why you didn’t see their blindside coming.

You become hypervigilant, always on the lookout for more lies or emotional threats.

You may even have trauma triggers that are reawakened.

The effects of being blindsided can be very devastating, and until you have been blindsided yourself, you will never fully understand the enormity of the damage that is caused.

If you have ever been blindsided, I feel your pain.

If you have ever been a part of orchestrating a blindside, shame on you!

And…

Karma is coming…

Just saying…

Sending love and light as always,
