Podcasts about relationship patterns

Send us a textWhat if the patterns keeping you stuck aren't even yours to begin with? From our earliest moments, our minds absorb everything around us like wet cement—every word, every glance, every reaction forming the foundation of how we see ourselves and the world.The most profound revelation in understanding our patterns is recognizing that many weren't chosen but inherited. Your parents passed down what they knew, having received the same from their parents, creating an unbroken chain stretching back generations. Nobody consciously hands down their wounds, yet we find ourselves living out scripts written long before we could write our names. These invisible patterns show up everywhere—in relationships that keep ending the same way, in money behaviors that sabotage stability, in the masks we wear believing they're our true identity.Breaking free begins with awareness. That relationship dynamic that feels so familiar? It's mirroring what you learned about love as a child. That self-sabotage that keeps happening? It's an old protection strategy that's outlived its usefulness. The transformation happens when you turn toward what you've been avoiding—your shadows, your inner child, your authentic self beneath the programming. Through reparenting, you can give yourself what you always needed but never received. And the miracle is that when you heal yourself, you don't just change your life—you break patterns that might otherwise continue for generations.Ready to pick up the pen and rewrite your story? Listen now to discover how to recognize the patterns running your life and finally break free. Subscribe for weekly insights that will transform how you see yourself and your potential.

In this episode, I speak with Peter about his work with “last chance couples” -- couples on the brink of separation who are putting in potentially one final effort in therapy. Peter first gives us a history of how he began specializing in this demographic of couples, the cornucopia of therapeutic models he brings into his work, and the particular challenges these types of couples pose to the therapeutic approach. He speaks about the creative relational movement approach to change which he employs to break a couples' systemic cycle of fighting. A common issue that these “last chance couples” have, is there is often very little to no internal motivation left to employ a change to their dynamic. Within this creative relational change approach, Peter speaks to the four premises that are important for the couple and therapist alike to understand to get on board with this process, and which of the four premises is most controversial to the field of psychology. He also talks about naming vulnerability as a good way to break the cycle of angry fighting, the challenges of a detached partner, and the often gendered dynamics that can either play into or disrupt the cycle of fighting. Peter shares four research-supported suggestions for couples to increase both the therapeutic credibility and therapeutic outcomes and the five most common “last chance couple” scenarios, including one he discovered after the publication of his book on the subject. Finally, Peter zooms out and leaves us with the big picture concept of how couples can adopt relational values to use as a compass to better guide their relationship on a daily basis. Peter Fraenkel, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Psychology at City College of New York; former faculty at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and NYU Medical Center; and is in private practice in New York City. He is the author numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters, and the books Last Chance Couple Therapy: Bringing Relationships Back from the Brink (2023, Norton); Sync Your Relationship, Save Your Marriage: Four Steps to Getting Back on Track; and is co-author of The Relational Trauma of Incest: A Family-Based Approach to Treatment. Peter lectures and conducts therapist trainings internationally. He received the American Family Therapy Academy's 2012 award for Innovative Contribution to Family Therapy. He is a former Vice President and former Board Member of AFTA, a Board member of the Minuchin Center for the Family, and a reviewer for several family therapy journals. Peter is also a professional drummer and percussionist, and has performed and recorded worldwide.

Why does modern dating feel so rigged for failure? Why do so many of us keep dating the same person with a different face? Why do men and women seem to talk past each other, missing the very signals that could build intimacy—or destroy it?In this session, Dr. David Snyder pulls back the curtain on the psychology of attraction, revealing why most people struggle with dating, mating, and relating—and how to turn those frustrations into breakthroughs. Whether you're looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, or just Mr. or Mrs. Right Now, you'll discover actionable tools to make connections that actually last.Here's what you'll learn inside:Why modern dating dynamics are stacked against you—and how to flip the script.How to recognize and avoid the trap of “same person, different face.”The body language cues and “mating dance” signals that reveal real attraction.How to create trust, comfort, and connection faster than you thought possible.The secret to becoming the most fascinating conversationalist your date has ever met.If you've ever felt frustrated, rejected, or simply exhausted by the dating game, this training offers a roadmap to confidence, clarity, and connection.Quotes:"Confidence comes with taking action. Action comes from knowing what the hell you're doing.""You can't find a soulmate until you know who you are, what you want, and how you know that you're getting it.""The secret to making any form of attraction work is being able to pay attention to what the partner is doing, and being able to calibrate if what you're doing is moving them towards intimacy and connection or away from it."Key Takeaways:Define your "ideal partner template" by identifying your personal values, love language, and attachment style. Write down what you truly want in a partner and how you'll know when you've found it.Practice the "three magic questions protocol" to create engaging, trust-building conversations with new people. Focus on asking questions that encourage others to open up and share meaningful aspects of their lives.Reflect on your own patterns of projection in relationships. Ask yourself: “Am I assuming others think and feel the same way I do?

Ever look back at your dating history and realise you've basically been in the same relationship over and over again — just with different people? Maybe you thought you'd learned the lessons, yet somehow the same dynamics keep playing out.In this episode, we're unpacking why these patterns form, why they feel so hard to break, and how you can start shifting them. We'll explore how your early experiences shape an unconscious “blueprint” for love, how your nervous system pulls you toward what feels familiar (even when it's not healthy), and the beliefs that keep certain dynamics on repeat.I'll walk you through a process for spotting your own relational through-lines, interrupting the cycle, and expanding your capacity for the kind of steady, reciprocal love you deserve.Whether you're in the thick of another “same story, different person” relationship or reflecting on past patterns, this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and practical steps to move toward something different.Highlighted Links Free Break-Up Training: The 3 Shifts That Help Anxiously Attached People Heal After a Break-up Free Training: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love London Event: tickets here Additional Resources Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here Join my email list

We examine how digital culture's promise of frictionless perfection has created unrealistic expectations that we unconsciously apply to relationships, creativity, and life itself. The conversation explores the psychological residue of living in an attention economy—how algorithmic thinking shapes our behavior even when we consciously reject it, and why we find ourselves reaching backward in time for tools and practices that feel more aligned with human limitations.The discussion reveals how consumer culture has colonized our emotional lives, creating cycles of acquisition that promise depth but deliver dopamine hits instead. We explore the radical act of commitment in a culture designed around endless options—whether that's using one typewriter for a month, smoking the same tobacco consistently, or building sustained relationships with imperfect objects. Through examining our relationship with vintage technology and analog tools, we uncover deeper questions about attention, authenticity, and what it means to build genuine depth in a world optimized for surface-level engagement. The conversation suggests that embracing friction and imperfection isn't nostalgia—it's a necessary practice for psychological health in an over-optimized world. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana bring you an excerpt from their new course, Bach Flower Foundations, now open for registration at the School for Flower Essence Studies.  We share a segment from the module, Bach Flowers for Modern Life, where we springboard from Dr. Bach's original insights on personality types to think in terms of the Bach flowers as archetypes representing personality “parts” and how they interact in relationships. It's a fascinating discussion highlighting some of the most “active” Bach flower archetypes and some corresponding “reactive” patterns, with examples that help us understand these personality parts better. It's a great way to envision some of the characteristics of the Bach flowers that we cover comprehensively in the course.

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself staring into a mirror that refuses to lie to you? That's exactly what the Fourth Step of recovery feels like. When I first heard those words—"made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves"—I knew it would be difficult. What I didn't anticipate was how completely it would transform my understanding of myself and my relationships.The Fourth Step shattered my victim mentality. After a devastating breakup, I finally faced the painful truth that had been hiding in plain sight: I was textbook codependent. Rather than honest communication, I'd built relationships around people-pleasing, manipulation, and control. I thought I was doing things for others, but I was really seeking approval and making other people my Higher Power. The realization cut deep—not only had I lost a relationship, but I'd lost my center, drifted from my program, and abandoned the principles that had saved my life.This powerful inventory process revealed how I'd been the same person in every relationship, wondering why they all ended the same way. I'd accumulated silent resentments by not speaking up about my needs or setting boundaries. I'd blamed others when I was really responsible for my own happiness and wellbeing. The Fourth Step isn't just about listing your flaws—it's about taking ownership of your story and stopping the cycle of blame that keeps you stuck. It's a reset button, a tool for ongoing growth that becomes more valuable each time you return to it with greater honesty.Whether you're in recovery or simply seeking personal growth, this episode offers insights into how unspoken boundaries create resentments, how fear of disapproval prevents authentic communication, and how taking responsibility transforms relationships from the inside out. Recovery isn't just about sobriety—it's about becoming the person you were always meant to be. I wouldn't trade the painful lessons of the Fourth Step for anything, because they've allowed me to finally live an authentic life. If you're struggling with relationships or feeling stuck in old patterns, this might be exactly what you need to hear today.

Send us a textEver wonder why incredibly smart, successful women keep falling for partners who are emotionally unavailable? This deep dive with relationship coach Bern Mendez uncovers the hidden patterns that trap intelligent women in unsatisfying relationships and offers practical ways to break free from these cycles once and for all.Bern shares his journey from overcoming personal depression to helping hundreds of women transform their love lives through understanding both the neurochemistry of attraction and the emotional patterns established in childhood. He explains how our nervous systems can become addicted to the pursuit-withdrawal dynamics of unavailable partners, creating a biochemical response that feels intense but ultimately leads to heartbreak.The conversation challenges popular beliefs about healing through relationships, with Bern advocating that "there's something powerful to be done about healing the best you can without the need to connect with human beings who push all your buttons." Instead of seeking partners who remind you of difficult parents, he suggests focusing on creating safety and genuine connection with those who align with your actual relationship goals.Support the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comic

Your brain defaults to fear 12x faster than logic, disrupting connection unless actively addressed. In this milestone 400th episode, relationship coach Sabrina Zohar reveals why you unconsciously recreate childhood dynamics in dating, often attracting the same emotional unavailability, love bombing, and ghosting patterns. We explore how unmet childhood needs create protective behaviors that mistake pain for love, leading to repetition compulsion where you date narcissists trying to heal narcissistic parent wounds. You don't need complete healing to find love but emotional regulation is essential. Sabrina shares practical techniques: self parenting your inner child, pausing to feel body signals, and building relationships with anxiety rather than eliminating it. Real growth comes from repair over perfection. Stop asking "Why don't they want me?" and start asking "What am I making this mean about me?" Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 746 Are you ready to reconfigure your past and reimagine humanity's future through the power of outrageous love? Visionary Philosopher Marc Gafni joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 746, to guide you from mythic narratives of soul mates to the co-creative vision of whole mates: evolutionary partners in service of the cosmos. Learn how the gift of suffering becomes the pathway to transcendence, why raising children is a spiritual act of embodiment, and how solving humanity's value crisis can spark a galactic awakening. "Soulmate relationships don't work. They're insufficient. If a couple is not looking at a shared horizon and they are only looking deeply in each other's eyes, it will not work. Whole mates are not just looking deeply in each other's eyes. They're first looking at a shared horizon, a shared mission. They're looking at the whole. They're in a relationship to the whole. And then from there, they turn back and look at each other." - Marc Gafni In This Episode, Marc Gafni Uncovers: [01:20] Outrageous Love Marc Gafni Why 'I love you' is our sacred creed. How facing death puts us in our visceral truth. Why we've lost connection to the meaning of 'I love you.' The difference between ordinary love and outrageous love. How love allows us to give our unique gifts. When we're in love, we feel welcome in the cosmos. Why reality is not a fact but an outrageous love story. How reality is generated. [09:50] What Is Evolution? Whole Mate by Marc Gafni The three levels of knowing. How we get lost in the complexity, which blocks us from seeing the depth. Every place we've been, we needed to be. Why every detour is part of the destination. How reality has mathematical, musical, molecular, metabolic, moral, and mystical values. Why reality is movement towards transformation. Evolution is love in action in response to need. How becoming what reality intended us to be, divinity experiences self-recognition through us. If we don't have the experience that we matter, our mind, heart, and body break down. [20:20] The Three Faces of God Why the God we don't believe in doesn't exist. The importance of the word 'God.' Why outrageous love is not a response to another person but the love that moves through us. The three faces of God: first, second, and third person. Neil deGrasse Tyson How religions show the faces of God. [29:50] New World Why we're in a time between worlds. How 40% of AI researchers believe that AI could destroy all humanity. 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream How we can create a new story of values for the world. [35:45] Divine Loneliness Why God is lonely. How we need separation to create intimacy. What it means to be lonely. How Marc's son made him see the human singularity. The importance of knowing our soul print. How we cover up our emptiness by getting our attention hijacked. Why we need to sit in loneliness in order to fill up with our soul print. The divine is being, spaciousness, and becoming. Why evolution is a love story of the universe. How wholeness comes from brokenness. [47:25] Pseudo-Eros + Shame Why pornography is pseudo-Eros. How pornography is explicit sexuality taken out of the context of a story. Why our relationship to essence is always sensual. How our shame tells a story that we're wrong. Why a great saint makes new mistakes. The meaning of the word 'hallelujah.' [56:10] From Soul Mate to Whole Mate Why soulmate relationships don't work. Evolution of Love from Quarks to Culture by Marc Gafni, Zak Stein + Elena Levin Why reality is evolution, relationships, and the evolution of relationships. How crisis drives evolution, and the movement is an evolution of relationships. The evolution from role mate to soul mate to whole mate. The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell + John Gray How each one of us has a role within a relationship in order to survive and thrive. Love Story (1970) [01:11:50] How Movies Tell The Story of Reality How the Matrix movie displays a whole mate relationship. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman Why Mars and Venus Collide by John Gray Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix How love replaced our values. Why sexuality is not personal but universal. The importance of having a shared vision as a couple. Social Physics by Alex Pentland Why most children don't believe in love anymore. Sapiens by Harari Yuval Noah [01:30:35] Raising Children As Whole Mates 744 Debra Silverman | Your Pain Has a Pattern… and Astrology Reveals It All (This Isn't Random) What embodiment feels like. Why raising children is more than a role mate part. How we can serve the larger whole. Phenomenology of Eros by Jonna Bornemark + Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback The reason why most relationships don't work. Why monogamy is a practice. Why relationships are the basic structure of reality. How most couples therapists don't address the issue of not having a shared vision.

She identifies how our rigid belief systems create confirmation bias, causing us to unconsciously seek evidence that reinforces our negative relationship patterns. Perel exposes the fundamental attribution error that plagues many relationships—where we see ourselves as complex while reducing others to simple characteristics—and reveals why turning dates into "job interviews" kills authentic connection.Perel shares transformative insights on conflict, explaining that what truly matters isn't what we fight about but what we're fighting for: care and closeness, respect and recognition, or power and control. Through illuminating examples, she demonstrates how seemingly trivial arguments about cat litter boxes or closet doors actually mask deeper emotional needs rooted in our earliest experiences. This wisdom offers listeners practical tools to break destructive patterns and build relationships based on genuine understanding rather than projected fears.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Today, I interview Robyn Smith, who spent much of her early life feeling unheard and afraid to speak up. As a child, she was timid and quiet, often holding back her voice in class and around others. Early experiences of separation from her mother left her with a deep sense of not being fully seen or heard. At home, she had the freedom to make choices, but in the outside world, she shrank into the background, afraid of being judged.Even as she grew older, the fear of speaking up stayed with her. She taught gymnastics as a kid and later became a yoga teacher, but she still struggled to trust her voice. She believed she wasn't loud enough, and speaking in front of others felt like a challenge.Her breakthrough came when she immersed herself in deeper personal work. Through intensive training, she began to understand the patterns that held her back and found the confidence to use her voice in a new way.Now, Robyn helps women struggling with relationship challenges, guiding them to break free from old patterns and build deeper, more fulfilling connections. She teaches practical tools for communication, emotional healing, and self-worth—helping others experience love and relationships in a way that feels truly supportive and nourishing.__________________Robyn Smith is an award-winning speaker and a leading trauma, communication, and relationship coach for women.

His perspective on healing transcends conventional relationship advice, offering a spiritual framework for understanding how our children, health challenges, and life circumstances serve as divine messengers guiding us toward growth.Ghiyam's transformative approach centers on three fundamental principles: maintaining unwavering certainty in the face of adversity, practicing genuine acceptance of all circumstances, and embodying the spirit of giving without agenda. He shares compelling examples of how wealthy and successful individuals often discover their spiritual path through health crises or personal losses, demonstrating that true transformation begins when we shift from viewing our experiences as toxic to seeing them as divinely orchestrated opportunities for evolution.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

How does attachment security relate to codependency?

Are you stuck in unfulfilling relationships and wondering why love feels out of reach? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, relationship expert Bob Grant talks about how hidden patterns and beliefs may be holding you back. Bob opens up about his own struggles with learning disabilities and how they led him to help others build lasting connections. He explains how self-criticism, especially among successful women, can create barriers to love and offers insights on shifting these mindsets. From dating apps to modern gender dynamics, Bob's advice empowers you to embrace vulnerability, challenge old narratives, and discover what you truly need in a partner. Ready for lasting love?   Standout Quotes: “I don't know that it's about trying harder; it's about learning how to do it in a way that works for me.” “Patterns don't lie. I may not know how to interpret correctly, but a pattern's a clue to something I'm probably doing, not doing, or not being aware of.” “Pain has a wonderful thing: it keeps us from being satisfied with where we're at now. That can be loneliness, boredom, or actual pain.” “I think if I'm talking to a man, it's like a job interview. It's a great illustration because it shows that this is the best chance you have to make a first impression.” Key Takeaways: Identify your personal patterns and tendencies in relationships - what coping mechanisms or self-limiting beliefs might be sabotaging your efforts to find lasting love? Seek honest feedback from a trusted source to gain clarity. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and do something differently. Small, incremental changes can disrupt unhealthy patterns and open the door to new possibilities. Approach online dating profiles and interactions with the same care and intention as a job interview - your first impression matters, so invest the time to present your authentic self. Recognize that the person you meet in person may be quite different from their online persona. Keep an open mind and focus on building an emotional connection, not just physical attraction. If you're not ready for professional coaching, start by surrounding yourself with a supportive community that can provide honest, constructive feedback to help you grow. Avoid relying solely on friends and family who may inadvertently enable your current patterns.   Episode Timeline: [00:00] Introducing Bob Grant [02:57] From Youth Leadership to Relationship Coaching [05:09] Helping Clients Find the Root Cause of Love Struggles [07:35] Modern Dating Challenges and Making a Great First Impression [12:04] Why Bob Focuses on Coaching Women in Relationships [18:17] Spotting and Breaking Negative Relationship Patterns [18:46] Simple Steps to Stop Repeating Relationship Mistakes [27:06] Dating Differences Between Women in Their 30s And 50s [30:45] Free Resources to Improve Your Love Life and Relationships   Learn more about Bob Grant on his socials: Website: https://relationshipheadquarters.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-grant-b6349228/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RelationshipHeadquarters/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/15a4c7LZLeQyYsj7fPAt7r   Learn more about Maria Romano and True Love Knots at: Website: https://trueloveknots.com Email: maria@trueloveknots.com Phone: +1 702-501-4150

Are you tired of repeating the same relationship patterns? Whether it's constant worry about abandonment or a tendency to keep people at arm's length, these behaviors - known as attachment styles - aren't set in stone. In part one of this two-part series, therapist Tony Overbay examines the science of attachment theory, tracing its development from John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth's pioneering "Strange Situation" experiment to current research demonstrating how people can actually change their relationship patterns. Through clinical examples and accessible explanations, Tony breaks down how early experiences with caregivers create blueprints that influence adult relationships - and more importantly, why these patterns can evolve. Tony explains how understanding attachment style connects to emotional maturity and self-awareness. Listeners will learn about different attachment patterns, how they manifest in daily life, and why these early-developed patterns aren't a reflection of personal failure - they emerged before conscious choice was possible. This episode provides the foundation for a deeper exploration of attachment style change and relationship transformation. For anyone dealing with trust issues, abandonment fears, or struggles with emotional intimacy, the discussion offers concrete insights into becoming more secure in relationships. Part 2 will delve into specific strategies for building secure attachments and showing up differently in relationships. As Tony often says, "You're not broken, you're human" - and humans have a remarkable capacity for growth. 00:00 Welcome Back and New Beginnings 00:28 Understanding Narcissism and Emotional Maturity 02:05 Personal Struggles and Emotional Growth 04:40 Podcast Updates and Future Plans 06:59 Introduction to Attachment Theory 10:06 The Strange Situation Experiment 12:28 Attachment Styles and Their Impact 17:25 Early Childhood and Relationship Templates 21:04 Avoidant Attachment in Adulthood 22:07 The Painful Dance of Intimacy 23:52 The Role of Fathers in Attachment 24:37 Presence and Radiance: A Father's Influence 26:18 Emotional Safety and Consistency 29:31 Navigating Emotions and Independence 39:53 Challenges of Absent Fathers 44:12 Healing Attachment Wounds 44:33 Conclusion and Next Steps Find more from Tony Overbay: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@virtualcouch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virtual.couch/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tonyoverbaylmft/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-virtual-couch/id1275153998 Website: https://www.tonyoverbay.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/virtualcouch To learn more about Tony's upcoming re-release of the Magnetic Marriage course, his Pathback Recovery course, and more, sign up for his newsletter through the link at https://linktr.ee/virtualcouch Available NOW: Tony's "Magnetic Marriage Mini-Course" is only $25. https://magneticmarriage.mykajabi.com/magnetic-marriage-mini-course Subscribe to Tony's latest podcast, "Waking Up to Narcissism Q&A - Premium Podcast," on the Apple Podcast App. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/waking-up-to-narcissism-q-a/id1667287384 Go to http://tonyoverbay.com/workshop to sign up for Tony's "Magnetize Your Marriage" virtual workshop.

On today's episode, we're diving deep into the topic of attachment with guest Thais Gibson, an author, counselor, and the co-founder of The Personal Development School. While the discourse around attachment so often focuses on identifying what's “wrong” with us, in this conversation, Dr. Alexandra and Thais explore how understanding and investigating our attachment style can create fertile ground for us to change the way we show up in relationships and break frustrating patterns. Our attachment style is not our destiny, and when we begin to understand the roots of this subconscious programming, we have the opportunity to reprogram ourselves for better and more fulfilling relationships. This episode will give you the tools and insights to start down that path and think more expansively about attachment.Thais's Instagram, The Personal Development SchoolOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question
