Summary
Iyanla classifies a relationship as lasting for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. In this week’s episode, callers share stories of returning to a relationship for a second (or third, or fourth) time – something Iyanla calls “Double Dipping.” One caller continuously returns to a man who disappears from her life for long periods of time, while another caller believes second chances never work in romantic relationships as it’s only left her with a broken heart. Iyanla guides both callers to understanding the “reason for the season” in these recurring relationships.

| 0:00.0 | I amla. We look at all kinds of relationships, love ships, family ships, sibling ships, and sometime the ship sails and at other times it's sinks. |
| 0:15.0 | Welcome to the R-Spot, a production of Shandaland Audio |
| 0:20.0 | in partnership with I Heart Radio. Today we're taking a closer look at what I call double dipping. Double dipping. |
| 0:44.0 | Where you go into a relationship, you leave the relationship, |
| 0:47.0 | and then for some strange reason, you go back. |

| 0:52.0 | If it doesn't work the first time and healing and changes |
| 0:57.0 | awarenesses unfold and you go back and you do it again, |
| 1:01.0 | well, that's a good thing. But if nothing changes and it's just your |
| 1:05.6 | attachment or attraction to the person that makes you want to dip your toe in |
| 1:10.6 | that river again, well you might have a problem. |
| 1:13.8 | We're going to talk about that today. |
| 1:15.9 | You know, because if you keep doing the same thing, |
| 1:18.6 | you're going to keep getting the same results. |
| 1:21.4 | But very often, we double dip because it's familiar. We'll go in and out of a relationship. We'll double dip because it's comfortable. I know you're ugly, you know my ugly, I know your needs, you know my needs, I know how you fight, you know how I fight. So I don't really have to stretch and grow. But here's the piece, and this is the piece I want to focus on today |
| 1:45.8 | as I've said many many times people come into our life for a reason or a season or a lifetime |
| 1:51.8 | now if you're double dipping in a season or relationship, |
