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.
