Understanding the Amago Relationship Pattern

People often seek partners who reflect the love patterns witnessed in childhood. The Amago theory suggests that individuals hold onto past experiences of love, comparing new relationships to their childhood definitions of love. The tendency to pursue partners who match these familiar patterns can lead to relationships that confirm existing beliefs rather than challenging them. Thus, understanding and recognizing these patterns can illuminate why certain dynamics feel 'right' despite being unhealthy or inconsistent.
