Summary
Have you ever heard of “Sunk Cost Bias”?
This unhelpful psychological bias is when past investment sabotages your ability to make good decisions about your future.
We’ve all been there…
You’re 6 months into a relationship and you start to realize it is going nowhere fast BUT instead of leaving you “keep trying harder to make it work”... Next thing you know you’re 2 years in, and you’re miserable.
The good thing is this doesn’t have to happen to you ever again!
Inside of this episode I will discuss:
- The definition of Sunk Cost Bias and why you need to know it.
- How to make sure you no longer water plastic plants in your dating life.
- How to make sure you make space for the kind of relationship you desire.
Tune in to make sure you understand this important concept of Sunk Cost Bias so you never let it sabotage your relationship decision making!
P.S. If you know you’re ready to take a step towards healthy relationships by “doing the work”, make sure you apply to the Empowered.Secure.Loved. (E.S.L.) Relationship Program ASAP.
