Description

Do you love the person…or the way they confirm your story? Dan exposes how many relationships are built on narrative addiction rather than authentic love. We often recruit partners to act out emotional scripts, confusing validation for connection. Learn to identify echo‑chamber chemistry and ask what happens if you stop casting people to play your roles.

Episode highlights:

  • Why we crave partners who mirror flattering versions of ourselves.
  • How early attachment styles and past roles (fixer, rebel, achiever) shape adult love.
  • What real love looks like without script crutches.
