Ladies: If you have ever been in a relationship with a man who treats you poorly, makes your life harder, blames you for everything (even his bad behaviour) I HIGHLY recommend reading/listening to this book;
"Men who hate Women, and the Women who love them" by Dr Susan Forward and Joan Torres
In it you'll discover:
Why intelligent, capable women get trapped in relationships with emotionally abusive, misogynistic or narcissistic men.
The subtle (and not-so-subtle) tactics these men use; blame-shifting, gaslighting, withdrawal, intimidation, to keep you off balance.
How your upbringing and past relationships can make you more vulnerable to toxic partners without you even realizing it.
The psychological “hooks” that make it so hard to leave, even when you know the relationship is hurting you.
How to clearly recognize abusive patterns instead of making excuses for them.
The emotional cost of minimizing, rationalizing, or internalizing a partner’s bad behavior.
Practical, step-by-step strategies for breaking the cycle, reclaiming your self-worth, and creating healthier boundaries.
Real-life stories from women who have overcome these dynamics, and how they rebuilt their lives.
I have worked with women for years helping them regain their sense of Inner Peace and Clarity after being in toxic relationships (including with their family of origin) and reading this book just confirmed everything I've witnessed over my years in clinic and my personal experience of healing these patterns.
The greatest thing I ever did was end relationships that were causing me harm.
In our society we equate Success with being in a romantic relationship and earning lots of money, but these are not the markers of TRUE success.
TRUE success is being your FULL TRUE self, regardless of your relationship or financial status.
There's PLENTY of people that have relationships and financial success that are completely detached from themselves and are not emotionally, physically or spiritually happy and healthy OR fulfilled.
Don't be fooled by what you see, trust what you feel in your deepest heart. That's where truth lives.
Never sacrifice your Heart and Soul for a relationship. True love uplifts, it doesn't deplete
You deserve Peace, Clarity and a Love that doesn't hurt. Give that to yourself first and you'll never accept less again 💖
