How NOT to Attract a Loving Relationship — What My Healing Journey Taught Me About Men, Boundaries and Self-Worth

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses abuse and its impact on mental processes and may be sensitive for some listeners.This was the episode I almost didn't record. But someone out there needed to hear it. In this deeply personal episode I talk aboutthe trauma I've experienced at the hands of men, why I became a self-described man-hater, and what a psychiatrist assessmentunlocked about the patterns I've been repeating in relationships.We cover self-compassion as the foundation of attracting love, why setting boundaries is not parenting your partner, the five lovelanguages and what mine tell me I actually need, and why I believe healing yourself first is the only honest path to a lovingrelationship.TOOLS:Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkBOOK MENTIONED: The 5 love languages, Gary Chapman: https://amzn.to/4ekW7B2Helpful Resources:📚 Download my free 2026 reading list & workbook (Bookstack Diaries): https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5💜 Women’s Aid UK (support & information on domestic abuse): https://womensaid.org.uk/ 📞 National Domestic Abuse Helpline (24/7 UK): 0808 2000 247 / https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/ 💗 The Five Love Languages by Dr Gary Chapman (book link): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Love-Languages-Secret-Lasts/dp/080241270X🌟 Free online Love Languages quiz: https://www.5lovelanguagetest.com/ Follow & connect with me:✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/📌 Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/charliegirl0033/🎵 TikTok: https://bit.ly/4ng5Drl🤝 Patreon Memberships: https://www.patreon.com/14548425/join🛍 Shop: https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457🧺 Vinted: https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/187523359#relationships #selflove #healing #toxicrelationship #boundaries #loveyourself #personaldevelopment #narcissisticabuse#womenempowerment #singlemum
