    Obsessive, chaotic love: The Venus Flytrap

    🖤 Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who did things you didn’t think others would believe?  🖤 Have you ever been in a relationship that made you feel trapped and intrigued at the same time?  Want to buy me a glass of wine? Head to my Patreon here. ⁠ 🖤 Have you ever come out of a relationship that you now consider toxic?  You will definitely relate to my conversation with Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards. And as we say in the episode, there is SO my power in relating to each other.  The Venus Fly Trap is Stephen’s exploration and vulnerable book about his experience with obsessive chaotic love. But this episode is much more than a chat about his book, it is a chat about both our experiences with chaotic and sometimes abusive relationships and our journeys to find ourselves once again.  I highly recommend this video to anyone who has ever felt that they stayed in a relationship longer than they should have.  A bit about what we cover in this powerful conversation:  -How Stephen became a fly in his relationship with a Venus Flytrap -Love vs lust -My own story of being in a relationship with an alcoholic  -The feeling “what have I gotten myself into?” -Why we ignore red flags -Feeling scared that no one will believe your partner’s behaviors  -The judgement of others  -Rebuilding your self-identity after a chaotic relationship 🖤 Are you ready to dive into The Venus Fly Trap books? I encourage you to do so!  You can find them on Dr. Edward’s website here. Want to learn about my breakup or secure attachment coaching?
