You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience

relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to

overcome insecurity and build healthy thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

Today's episode is a short and sweet one. I'm going to be sharing some

reflections and hard truths about finding the one. So I think this idea of the one is something that we've all had

drilled into us by fairy tales and Hollywood and everything else this idea that

We've just got to keep looking and then eventually we're going to find this perfect person who sweeps us off our feet,

who thinks that we are the greatest thing to ever grace this earth and will fall desperately in love

and we'll get married and live happily ever after and we'll live out our days in perfect harmony.

And as lovely as that picture and that image is, I hate to be the one to break it to you that it is unrealistic and sets us up for a lot of doubt and a lot of pain and a lot of suffering.

So I'm going to be sharing some reframes on that and in addition to reframes and hard truths

maybe asking some pointed questions around what we get out of believing that there is this one out there for us. So that's what I'm going to be

chatting about today. As I said it's a short and sweet episode so hopefully that

will give you lots to think about in a nice compact format.

Before I dive into that just sharing the featured review for today which is

this is the best podcast I've ever found. I'm in an anxious

avoidance relationship by me and my partner listening to your

podcast and discussing based on them it helps us learn and understand ourselves and

each other more. Since we started doing that we navigate our relationship with

more ease and empathy than before.
