Episode 12: “The Way I Loved You” & The Realities of Dating After A Toxic Relationship

In this episode, my guest, Marisa, of @littlebent_notbroken and I unpack the lyrics to “The Way I Loved You” from Taylor Swift’s album, Fearless (throwback!). We discuss our interpretations of the song through the lens of what it’s like to be in a new relationship after a toxic or abusive relationship. Some topics we cover in the episode are:

  • missing someone even though they were toxic or harmful in your life.

  • when dating after abuse feeling boring or lackluster compared to the high highs and low lows of past relationships.

  • why you’re attracted to the chase of someone inconsistent.

  • what you learn from relationships that pair love with pain.

  • and so much more!

I hope you enjoy the episode!!
