Discover the hidden psychological patterns sabotaging your love life in this eye-opening conversation with relationship coach John Kenny on the Eat, Love, Do show. Kenny reveals how childhood experiences create subconscious ‘attraction styles’ that draw us to the wrong partners – like his own pattern of being attracted to people with problems he could ‘fix,’ leading to a cycle of codependency and disappointment. Learn why that intense ‘gut instinct’ and overwhelming attraction might actually be your brain’s way of recognizing familiar but unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Explore the fascinating world of attachment styles formed in our first two years of life and how they continue to shape our adult relationships. From fearful avoidants who crave love but can’t handle intimacy, to anxious types who chase unavailable partners, Kenny breaks down the three insecure attachment patterns that keep us stuck in toxic cycles. This deep dive into relationship psychology offers crucial insights for anyone wondering why they keep attracting the wrong people or struggling with the same relationship issues over and over again.
