Leave your relationship dilemmas and questions for Dr. Colleen at LoveUnboxedPodcast.com 

Dr.Colleen introduces the Coaching Through Chaos audience to Love, Unboxed: the podcast for the hopeful romantic.  This show is for the person who hasn't given up on love.  In this episode, "Birds with Broken Wings Belong at the Vet, not in your bed!" Dr. Colleen unboxes the Broken Wing Syndrome.  What does it mean? Who loves the birds with broken wings? What they each need to heal and have healthier relationships and how to know if you are dating a birdie with a broken wing.  

************************************************************************************************

"Love, Unboxed: A Podcast for the Hopeful Romantic" is a new project by Dr. Colleen Mullen.  Dr. Colleen hopes this becomes collaborative with you. Each week, Dr. Colleen unboxes one topic on love & relationships so that you gain a deeper understanding of it and can manage it when it shows up in your life. 

Leave your relationship questions for Dr Colleen at LoveUnboxedPodcast.com. The first 5 people who leave a relationship question get a free copy of the journal Dr. Colleen designed: My Mindful Reflections: A Daily Journal for Better Mental Health.

This is Season 1, Episode 1- The subject up for unboxing is the Broken Wing Syndrome. This is sometimes called the Broken Brid Syndrome. Neither the Broken Wing or Broken Bird Syndromes are actual diagnostic terms, rather, they are very popular ways of discussing a particular relationship dynamic.  Dr. Colleen has coined those who have the Broken Wing Syndrome and fall in love with the Birdies with Broken Wings, the Wing Whisperers. 


If you don't know these terms, but you've been insecure in relationships, or seem to reflect on past relationships and feel like you stayed too long, or can see in the reflection that you couldn't get what you needed from your partner emotionally, I encourage you to listen to this. You may relate to what Dr. Colleen unboxes. 

This unboxing includes:

  1. The love story of Jenny & Jack, who really enjoy each other, but ultimately can't be what each needs.
  2. How the Broken Wing Syndrome is different than the Savior Complex.
  3. What the Bird with the Broken Wing needs to heal their wing.
  4. What the Wing Whisperer needs to heal in order to find a more balanced partnership.
  5. The things Dr. Colleen wants the Wong Whisperer to know.
  6. TellTale signs you are dating a Birdie with a Broken Wing.
  7. What Jack & Jenny's relationship would have looked like if they got a post-therapy do-over.
