You hear that?

That's not just a Toyota truck.

That's the sound of no crowds, no alerts, no distractions, and no telling what you'll find next.

You know, like a detour.

So why would you ever take a tour and you could take a detour?

Toyota Trucks.

It's hard to pinpoint why.

It could be genetics, it could be environmental, it could be that you saw your family do the same thing

and healthy relationships weren't modeled for you.

Nobody knows exactly why there's not a single reason why we repeat. There's a couple of theories. One of them is that we repeat because it feels like home, right? And this is what's depicted in the media. And we've probably seen this where it's like, oh, yeah, I wake up and I'm like, well, that's exactly how I grew up. And so, of course, I repeat, you know, I did the same thing.

I think sometimes we also repeat to avoid. oh yeah, I wake up and I'm like, well, that's exactly how I grew up. And so, of course, I repeat, you know, I did the same thing.

I think sometimes we also repeat to avoid understanding where we came from, right?

So if you grew up in a really chaotic home and you haven't processed any of that, if you repeat the chaos, then you don't have to come to grips with the fact that you grew up in a chaotic home,

and it shouldn't have been that way.

I'm John Kim, a licensed therapist who used to be a miserable fuck

before going on a hero's journey and turning expired relationships into revelations.

I use my story to help others come with you instead of at you.

Unrehearsed on purpose because self-help doesn't have to be polished or complicated.

Just honest.

Can I ask you something?

So I don't know if you, what you believe about addiction, but if you have that in your blood or family treat, there's addiction, are you more susceptible to this repetition because you are impulsive or just, you know, all the behaviors from addiction?

Yeah, I think so. And I think it's probably, it's hard to pinpoint why.
