Summary
Attraction is such a saucy topic. In this very direct episode, we get into the heart of why we are often attracted to the same types of people and patterns in relationships - even when we KNOW they don't serve us. It's always the result of something deeper. If you're struggling to let go of someone or a pattern of your own, this episode is for you. Please reference Teal Swan's YouTube video on Attraction for more details. The book "ATTACHED" is another great resource.
This episode covers:
-the difference between love & attraction
-the emotional root cause of why we tend towards certain romantic partners, or dynamics in romance
-how to BREAK the patterns and heal
-an overview on patterns of trauma reenactment
