Description

In this module of the video course, we explore why we repeat the same relationship patterns — even when we know they’re not good for us — and how understanding your emotional wiring can shift everything.


You’ll learn:



  • Why familiar relationships feel magnetic (even when they hurt)

  • How early belonging shapes adult attraction

  • The difference between healthy excitement and chaos

  • How to navigate triggers with someone instead of alone

  • Why healing happens in relationship, not isolation

  • How to rewire your patterns with compassion instead of shame


This episode is a reminder that your patterns aren’t failures — they’re information. And once you understand them, you can create the relationships you’ve always deserved.
