In this module of the video course, we explore why we repeat the same relationship patterns — even when we know they’re not good for us — and how understanding your emotional wiring can shift everything.

You’ll learn:

• Why familiar relationships feel magnetic (even when they hurt)
• How early belonging shapes adult attraction
• The difference between healthy excitement and chaos
• How to navigate triggers with someone instead of alone
• Why healing happens in relationship, not isolation
• How to rewire your patterns with compassion instead of shame

This episode is a reminder that your patterns aren’t failures — they’re information. And once you understand them, you can create the relationships you’ve always deserved.
