This is the episode that we have been meaning to do forever. We are so happy that you are here listening to it with us. Today we're going to run through the six things that are chemistry, not compatibility. And then once we've gone through those six things, we're actually going to go into the 12 signs of compatibility that Dr. Terry has told me that we need to be looking at and observing. These are more just like key indicators which are increasing the likelihood of potential success of a long term partnership.
Understanding the difference between chemistry and compatibility can help us understand that just because it feels good, doesn’t mean it will be good. We confuse chemistry with compatibility, intensity with intimacy and attention with intention, without every talking about the foundations of what compatibility actually means.
Louise & therapist Dr. Tari Mack cover some game changing advice:
- The concepts of chemistry vs. compatibility
- Why love isn’t enough
- 6 signs of toxic chemistry (trauma bonding, breadcrumbing, toxic chemistry, rollercoaster dating, inconsistency, the anxious-avoidant cycle)
- Why you can’t sustain a relationship on just chemistry
- What compatibility is
- The 12 signs of chemistry that you need to establish to really see if you are a good match.
