Have you ever wondered why certain relationship dynamics seem to repeat themselves—why you keep choosing the same type of partner, facing the same conflicts, or feeling stuck in the same frustrations? In this episode of The Secure Space, Dr. Coleman dives deep into the origins of these recurring patterns, uncovering how they’re shaped by early life experiences and sustained by the brain’s preference for the familiar.

Discover how attachment styles influence the way we connect, and learn why even unhealthy dynamics can feel comforting. This episode offers actionable steps to identify and challenge the limiting beliefs that keep you trapped, guiding you toward building healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to recognize recurring relationship patterns and their origins.
  • Why the brain holds onto familiar dynamics, even when they’re unhealthy.
  • Practical strategies for breaking free from old habits and creating balanced, emotionally honest connections.
