Episode notes

The chapter discusses the tendency for some individuals to jump into new relationships quickly after the end of a previous one, in order to avoid dealing with emotional healing. The chapter also highlights society's avoidance of grief and the pressure to quickly move on to the next relationship.

Getting into a new relationship can bring up a lot of past trauma from previous relationships, and cause a lot of self sabotage or anxiety, resulting in behaviours such as:

Emotional unavailability
Knit picking behaviour
Starting unnecessary fights
Stone walling
Pushing people away
Ignoring red flags

In this episode we answer the question "do you need to completely heal before entering into a new relationship?". We are joined by the incredible, Tasha Bailey, otherwise known as the Real Talk Therapist as we break down the way past relationship trauma can show up in our new relationships and how to heal whilst still accepting the love you deserve.
