We're back with part II of our eldest daughter/hero child series, and the impact this has on our dating and romantic lives. If you haven't yet listened to episode 118, I highly recommend going back and doing so before digging into this one.

In this week's episode I'm discussing:

  • Why the very traits of being the helpful, accommodating, rule following, good girl, who always did well in school, can also be the very thing/things that hold us back from deep connection and fulfilling partnership

  • How our conscious and subconscious brains work here — how we can consciously desire a relationships but subconsciously actually fear one, actually not want one

  • How our attachment patterns show up within all of this

  • How remaining single can feel really, really safe

  • How the fear of losing ourselves can cause us to push away healthy relationships, or attract people we can't get that close to

  • Why it's so difficult to operate authentically and express our wants and needs — but how we actually go about doing it

  • How remaining chronically single or being resistant to dating is often a means of protection
