The Fairy Tale Trap - Paperback

by Shelley Murphy (Author)

We grow up on fairy tales.

Fairy tales promise love will save us, healing will be linear, and if we're good enough, someone will choose us. But what happens when those stories become traps? The very myths we cling to for safety, identity and connection can quietly sabotage our growth.

The Fairy Tale Trap is a trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent guide to unraveling the seductive scripts that shape our relationships, self-worth and inner narratives. Drawing from Murphy's clinical expertise and personal experience, this book explores how idealised beliefs can lead to toxic relationships.
