Are you always finding yourself meeting guys that take advantage of you? Meeting guys that use your kindness against you?! Guys that leave you feeling down, drained, depressed, hurt, afraid or trapped?!

Have you considered you may actually be attracting that type of guy on a 'subconscious' level? Have you considered that abusive men could be attracted to your energy or your traits?

A lot of traits abusers are attracted to in women are actually good traits for any person to have. Some of these traits include being empathetic, caring, compassionate and forgiving. Problem is, over time an abuser will subtly use these traits against you.

It seems you need to be very decerning when displaying these traits around certain people...for some will see it as a weakness....a weakness that they will not hesitate to exploit.

This video focuses on 3 conscious, provocative abusers that look for these particular traits in women, as well as the more obvious traits like naivety, weakness, insecurity etc. Obviously these 3 fictional abusers are not representative of all abusers, but they certainly represent a percentage of them, and this is what I wanted to highlight.

I also wanted to remind parents of the importance of raising their daughters in such a way that abusers on any level will find it hard to manipulate or entangle them in their destructive web.
