People in negative relationships are often asked why they don't "just leave"? But is it always just as easy as walking away?

In this week's show, John examines the causes of abuse in relationships, its effects, and the complex reasons why it's not always an easy decision to turn our backs and walk away.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
According to surveys, one in four women, and on in nine men, are in relationships that contain some form of sexual, physical or emotional violence. It's far more widespread than we realise.
Love can still linger in a relationship, even when it's begun to decay. It is entirely possible to be in love, even though it is unhealthy to do so.
If abuse and violence arrive in a relationship slowly, and not in a sudden burst, then it can have a conditioning effect, slowly becoming normalised, until only an outside perspective can make us realise that something is truly wrong.
Manipulation and abuse can come in hitherto unrecognised ways. This usually drip-feeds in slowly, and gently removes power from one party, and gives to the other. it can be as simple as controlling the finances in the relationship, causing one to have to ask the other, thereby switching the power balance.

BEST MOMENTS

'There are other reasons why someone might persist with a toxic relationship'

'Love is the ultimate connection'

'Hope is something we have instinctually. We can perpetually hope that things get better'

'Manipulation is key with an abuser. They are often smart, charming and magnetic'

 "I think the key is, for me, what I aspire to give a fuck about is what is best for both of us."

"It's too hard. I don't want to do that."

A Roadmap to a Happy Relationship with Jessica Myers Adams

Jill discusses her lifelong interest in astrology and the creation of her astrological guide. She delves into the importance of understanding astrology in relationships and the episode covers topics such as the influence of astrological signs, the significance of elements in personality traits, and the balance of yin and yang energies. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Jill Carr, has a deep passion for astrology and has been studying it since a young age, leading her to write a book called "Astrolations."


Jill believes that astrology can help people understand themselves and others better, leading to more harmonious relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.


Jill's book, "Astrolations," combines Western and Chinese astrology to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding one's character and relationships.


Jill Carr emphasises the importance of balance in astrological elements and how they influence personality traits and relationships.


The moon can have a big impact on emotions and behaviours, lunar cycles have been found to affect human experiences and interactions too.

BEST MOMENTS

 "I think astrology helps a lot with knowing ourselves. Find out everything that influences you. Find out what makes you angry, what makes you joyous, things like that."

"I never thought of it like that, to be honest. I never thought of it being something to believe in something to, like you said, something tangible to hold on to."

"I think astrology is important in our lives and our relationships because I think we're looking for a meaning, and I think astrology, you know, our planet Earth."

"I think people are looking for a soulmate, and I think the practice involved for me is about yin and yang, being, you know, the Western signs of negative and positive."

"I think people can look at this astrolations on many, many levels. I think some people, it's quite a hefty book, it will be a good textbook, I think, for students of astrology."

Relationships and Astrology with Jill Carr

Monica shares her journey of spiritual awakening and transformation, emphasising the importance of expanding consciousness and cultivating inner peace. They discuss Monica's new book, "The Seven Levels of Wisdom," and Monica highlights the significance of relationships in personal growth and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Monica has been dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey towards expanding their consciousness, cultivating inner peace, and living a life of deep fulfilment for more than 15 years.


Monica's new book, "The Seven Levels of Wisdom," focuses on how to raise one's level of consciousness and is suitable for those starting a spiritual path or wanting to go further in their personal development.


Working on yourself consciously and willingly is essential to progress in personal development, achieve serenity, harmony, and inner calmness.


Relationships are an excellent path to work on unconditional love, altruism, and personal growth.


BEST MOMENTS

"The best way to earn serenity is to collaborate unconditionally with what is inevitable."

 "It's never too late because we needed all the past experience to be able to learn things that we need right now."

"The only ceiling is how much you are willing to put into the work."

"It's about not just how you think, it's not about how you feel, it's the whole thing of putting it all together and being sort of one with yourself."

"We are one out of time, I'm afraid."
