I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

Never heard of life traps. I googled it and it seems like marketing speak for psychological issues to deal with in therapy. Is that it means to you or something else?

Yeah i had to search the term to find an english translation for it as it's not my first language and the search results felt a bit off to me... But I'm currently reading a book on it and it really has helped me realize where most of my thought and behavior patterns come from and how to learn to be a better version of myself. It might not be for everyone but it helps me

it seems like marketing speak for psychological issues

I just googled it too and this is indeed what it sounds like. Influencer spam. "How I avoided these 11 common Life Traps!"
