EP 128 | I've been in therapy for years but I'm still single. What gives?

Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Podcasts

Here's where I meet most of my clients: They've been in therapy for years, they have a tremendous amount of awareness around their stuff — their mom issues, their dad issues, their attachment style, their insecurities, how they attract the wrong men, etc etc. They know it all like the back of their hand! But their dating and relationship life remains the same. What gives?

Why can we have all the self awareness with zero change in our circumstances?

That's what we're digging into in today's podcast. I'm specifically covering:

  • Why we can do therapy for years but remain perpetually single or stuck in the same dating patterns

  • How awareness of "our stuff" isn't enough

  • Why the action and efforts needed to change our patterns is so hard and how we can tackle things slowly

  • The importance of bringing compassion and curiosity to our stuck-ness

  • A simple exercise to start to actually shift both your understanding of yourself, your dating patterns, your resistance to dating, and this overall conundrum.
