👉🏻 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR FEE Connect with others and get support from people who get it: https://www.herpeswellness.com/ After a herpes diagnosis, a lot of people start settling. Not because they want to, but because they're scared no one else will ever come along. So, they hold onto the wrong person. They lower their standards. They tell themselves this is just as good as it gets now. But here's what nobody tells you. Your options didn't disappear the day you were diagnosed. You just started believing they did. In this episode, Cat Dupree walks you through how “The Scarcity Trap” takes hold after a diagnosis, how it shapes who you choose and what you put up with without you even realizing it, and what changes the moment you stop choosing from fear and start choosing the life you actually want. You'll learn: -What the Scarcity Trap is, and how it quietly shapes who you date after a herpes diagnosis -Why "do they accept me" becomes the bar, and why acceptance is only the bare minimum -How settling slowly strips away your self-trust and pulls you into self-abandonment -What really changes when you stop choosing from scarcity and start choosing what you want and deserve -The truth about your options after a diagnosis, and why the shortage was never real
