Why Women Worry About Being Alone Forever: Healing Past Trauma to Get You Back in the Dating Game with Phoebe Rogers

The Relationship Circle

It’s a classic catch-22: women worry that they’ll be alone forever, but also worry they don’t deserve true love. They’re too scared to reenter the dating world after ending yet another bad relationship that brought all their worst inner fears back to the surface. They might be left feeling like a small, scared child - and that’s exactly where this is all coming from, according to our guest this week, Phoebe Rogers! Phoebe is a clinical psychologist who specialises in dealing with ‘inner child trauma’, or to put it more simply, personality traits that have been created by wounds and unmet needs from our childhood and have stuck around to adulthood. She’s also extended her therapy expertise into the dating world, and we’re discussing some of her experiences coaching women and couples on healing that past trauma to become confident and attract real connections again. Embodying the spirit of what The Relationship Circle podcast is all about, Phoebe shares her best strategies for increasing your self-worth, becoming genuine in both the dating and relationship stages, and having a healthy connection with your own feelings and emotions. Phoebe takes our inner child by the hand as she guides us to recognising that the negative relationship patterns and narratives we keep telling ourselves are fact, are nothing more than fiction.

Some of Phoebe’s best advice in this episode:
👩‍👧 Healing your inner child: schema therapy, self-reflection, and showing kindness all parts of yourself (the good and the bad!)
👩‍👧 Releasing fears and rebuilding self-confidence when reentering the dating game
👩‍👧 Being authentic and realistic about what YOU want from a relationship
👩‍👧 Breaking dating patterns that aren’t working, and rebuilding ones that actually serve us

Listen to this week’s episode as Phoebe empowers us to heal our inner child in a safe and encouraging environment. This is your chance to elevate schoolyard romances to long-lasting and fulfilling adult relationships!
