065 SelfWork: What I Learned About Bad Boys And Creating A Life I Liked

ByDr. Margaret March 2, 2018January 29, 2020 January 29, 2020

I created a lot of chaos in my life by being attracted to “bad boys,” men who were not interested in my own growth as a person, and who acted as if women couldn’t be trusted and that love wasn’t possible. I, like many women before me, decided to try to change a mind or two, and was emotionally abused in the process. That was before I began volunteering at the local battered women’s shelter, an experience that was life-altering in many ways. I finally focused on my own purpose, and not only began liking the life I was creating — but also myself.

I hope my story can help you.

The listener email for today is from someone who was very moved by Episode 46 – How A Woman Feels Around A Harvey Weinstein.

I'm so happy you're here!

Hello and welcome! I have been a psychologist in private practice for thirty years. I began writing online in 2012, and I was just narcissistic enough to believe that I might have something fresh or funny to say about what I’d learned...(read more)
