Episode notes
Have you ever met someone who felt amazing simply because they did everything your ex didn’t?
Maybe they communicate better. Maybe they’re more affectionate. Maybe they’re emotionally available. Suddenly, it feels like you’ve finally found “the one.”
But what if what you’re feeling isn’t compatibility… it’s relief?
In this episode, I talk about how the pain from our previous relationships can quietly influence who we choose next. Sometimes the qualities we were deprived of become the only things we evaluate, causing us to overlook compatibility, values, boundaries, and the bigger picture.
I explore how deprivation can cloud our judgment.
