Clarity, insight, and emotional wisdom to choose love without settling or losing yourself

Quit Dating Idiots is a raw, relatable guide for anyone stuck in the pattern of chasing chemistry with emotionally unavailable partners. It helps readers understand how attachment styles, nervous system dysregulation, and limiting beliefs shape their dating lives—and how to break free from these cycles. Blending personal stories with client breakthroughs and practical tools, the book weaves psychological insight with warmth and wit, guiding readers to trust their gut, honour their truth, and build love stories that begin with themselves.

Written by Laura Forbes, a trauma-informed relationship coach and Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with over 166,000 Instagram followers, this book guides readers to:

  • Understand emotional, psychological, somatic, and energetic roots of your dating life—and the real magic that happens when you start living in alignment with your truth
  • Achieve self-worth and healthy boundaries, two essential requisites to build secure, fulfilling relationships
  • Choose yourself again and again, instead of just dodging red flags
  • Find the courage to walk away from someone who isn’t an idiot—but isn’t your future, either

Quit Dating Idiots is for anyone who’s been stuck in the loop of chasing chemistry, blaming themselves and surviving off a diet of stale breadcrumbs. It’s time for more, because secure love isn’t boring—it’s the revolution you’ve been waiting for.
