    Why You Don't Need to Be Fixed — You Were Never Broken!

    Do you keep finding yourself in abusive romantic relationships, struggling with low self-worth, anxiety, or a deep lack of safety — and wondering if you'll ever truly heal?In this episode of After Trauma, Hattie and I talk about HOW low self-worth can lead us to abusive relationships. Sometimes we don't even recognize something as abuse or unhealthy pattern until we experience the OPPOSITE. People who show up in our lives, especially the ones who hurt us, often mirror back exactly what still needs to heal inside us. But there's nothing to fix — because we were never broken. We just need to remember who we already are. It all seems to arrive in its right timing, when we finally have the capacity to face it. :)📢 🔔 Subscribe to our youtube channel : ‪@ThereIsNoTrauma‬ 0:00 Introduction5:19 Prior childhood trauma and its influence on abusive relationships7:07 Finding contrast through a safe partner9:31 Why "no one needs saving"13:04 People-pleasing tendencies 14:41 How do you actually learn to love yourself?29:21 Swimming against vs. with life36:39 Why relationships are your clearest mirror44:05 Accepting yourself instead of constantly fixing yourself50:55 What separates people who heal from people who repeat the cycle56:50 Trauma AND free will59:03 Trauma and the old identity1:09:09 How your patterns repeat across every relationship1:15:09 Body image, anxiety, and changing your relationship to it1:18:39 Can an anemone bloom in the desert?
