Nothing Makes You Unlovable. Not Even Herpes.

About this episode

Cat Dupree discusses the misconceptions around self-worth and love in relation to a herpes diagnosis.

In this episode, Cat Dupree breaks down where that fear of not finding love actually comes from and why it can feel so real, even when it’s not based on truth. Instead of assuming that a diagnosis determines your worth or your ability to have a meaningful relationship, Cat explains how those beliefs are learned, how they get reinforced, and how they start influencing your behavior without you even realizing it. You’ll also hear why your mind looks for confirmation to support what you already believe, how that can make neutral experiences feel like rejection, and what begins to change when you stop measuring your worth through someone else’s reaction. Cat shares a simple shift that helps you step outside those patterns so you can approach relationships from a place of confidence, not fear. 👉🏻 ONLINE COMMUNITY Connect with others and get support from people who get it https://www.herpeswellness.com/
