Fixing our pickers and being attracted to emotionally available people.

What a concept.

My name is Andrea and this is Adult Child.

Welcome back to Adult Child, where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

And today, we are diving deep into fixing our broken ass pickers.

Yes, BPS, Broken Picker Syndrome Recovery.

As we talked about in Episode 5, and if you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend that you do.

BPS is one of the most common symptoms of being an adult child.

Getting in and staying in the wrong relationships with the wrong people.

But the good news is that BPS is fixable.

In fact, it is a natural repercussion that will occur as we heal, as we reprogram the faulty programming of our dysfunctional upbringing.

And this was my experience, which I will be sharing with you all today, as well as the final chapter to the Brian No. 2 story that I teased in the earlier episode.

Then I will be chatting with relationship coach and former BPS sufferer, Adam Moroskis.

Now this guy is Mr. Fix Your Picker, like literally.

His website is fixyourpicker.com, his Instagram handle is fix your picker.

And he's going to tell us all about his former broken ass picker, how the hell he fixed it, and how he now helps others to fix theirs.

So let's not waste any more time and have at it.

So it is February 7th, 2018. I'm at home at 7 o'clock at night.

And I receive an email from Brian No. 2.

Now it has been about 5 weeks since he broke up with me, and throughout those 5 weeks I had been doing pretty okay, at least in my standards.

I was still in a shitload of pain, I was still rather miserable, but I was not as miserable as I had been the whole time that we were dating.

And I had also been working with my therapist twice a week, but again, it had only been 5 weeks.
