this episode of Trauma Things, Charlie West (yes — you heard that little slip where I said Charlie Tarot at the start… we’re just rolling with it) unpacks what people really mean when they say, “your partner mirrors your insecurities.”

Spoiler: sometimes it’s not a mirror at all — it’s emotional chaos, avoidance, or straight up disrespectful human. We’re talking about what it feels like to put your own needs last, doubt your intuition, and finally reach that moment where you realize… it’s not a reflection of you, it’s a reflection of them.
