How did I get stuck in the cycle of abuse over and over again?
I asked this question to myself a lot and found that many others do, too. Even if we understand what got us here in the first place, we don’t understand why we keep going back to relationships where we’re treated like garbage.
If you relate to this, you’re in the right place.
If you haven’t listened to the “cycle of abuse” episode yet, I highly recommend you do. It’ll make this make SO much more sense.
I was stuck in the abusive relationship cycle from the time I was 12 years old until I was 23.
When one relationship ended, I jumped right into another one. Each relationship more toxic than the last.
These relationships taught me that I wasn’t good enough, not strong enough, not capable of ‘holding onto’ somebody.
I ultimately put this on myself and this fueled the cycle even more.
I reached a point where I thought this is what I deserved so I created a self fulfilling prophecy.
This is the mindset that keeps us in the cycle of abuse.
But how does this mindset start, anyway?
Today, that's what we're gonna find out.
