Is your relationship stuck on repeat?

Why do smart, self-aware people keep having the same argument with different partners?

On this week’s episode of The Conscious Rising, I sit down with Dr. Aria Campbell-Danesh — a clinical psychologist (15+ years) working at the intersection of high performance and relationships — to get practical about why patterns repeat and how to rebuild with honesty and presence.

He explains:

⬛ The difference between reactivity vs. responsibility (and how to switch in the moment)

⬛ Why unresolved pain shows up as the same fight with a new partner

⬛ How to repair (and when space is the kinder move)

⬛ Love vs. the conditions of a relationship (agreements that actually hold)

⬛ Clear frames on monogamy / polyamory without ideology — structure, safety, and trust

⬛ How to rebuild after betrayal or identity collapse without bypassing the hard parts
