In our work with thousands of women, this is the #1 limiting belief that women have about men and relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And the thing is, for those with this fear, it is 100% <i>real<\/i> to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s why we wanted to share this message first thing in this new year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If this is what you are experiencing or feel like you are experiencing \u2014 basically if this is your paradigm for relationships \u2014 it\u2019s because you\u2019ve had an experience in the past that created this belief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Warning signs that you have this belief are that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">you have the experience of over-giving and not receiving back a relationship<br \/> <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">you feel as if you\u2019re being used for sex<br \/> <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">you\u2019re helping a man \u201cgets back on his feet,\u201d or being used financially<br \/> <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">you feel like you must be \u201cneeded\u201d in order for someone to love you, and that if they don\u2019t \u201cneed\u201d you, then they will leave you<br \/> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think about your last 3-4 relationships?
