The Fairy Tale Trap is a powerful blend of memoir, self help, and relationship insight for anyone who’s ever asked, “How did I end up here again?” With raw honesty and compassionate wisdom, Shelley Murphy unravels the myths we inherit about love, safety, and self-worth, revealing how early wounds and cultural scripts shape the relationships we choose and the ones we endure.
Drawing from personal experience and therapeutic reflection, Shelley explores the impact of date rape, domestic violence, and emotional entrapment, while guiding readers toward reclaiming agency and rewriting their inner narrative. She shines a light on the fairy tales we’re raised with, stories that promise rescue, reward self sacrifice, and romanticise suffering and how they quietly teach us to accept co-dependence, ignore red flags, and lose ourselves in pursuit of “happily ever after.”
This book invites you to examine your relationship with yourself, the original blueprint and offers tools to break free from repeating painful patterns.
It’s not just a book. It’s a mirror, a map, and a gentle companion for those ready to step out of the trap and into a life authored by truth, courage, and self love.
