Part III: How our drive to be good, to be high achievers, to put other people's needs before our own keeps us single or stuck in unhealthy relationships | Ep 120 Artwork

I Think I Like You

A counterintuitive approach to navigating dating and building relationships in the digital age. This is for the woman who feels disenchanted by more common dating rhetoric and sometimes even questions if she wants a relationship at all. She already lives a rich, full life. She would like to share that with someone, but not at the expense of herself. What gives? That’s where we’re digging in.

Part III: How our drive to be good, to be high achievers, to put other people's needs before our own keeps us single or stuck in unhealthy relationships | Ep 120

August 16, 2024 • Clara Artschwager

Today's episode marks part three in our series exploring patterns of the eldest daughter/hero child, and how that either leaves us chronically single or in really unfulfilling relationships — or some mix of the two!

Today's episode gets into how the behaviors we adopt, that initially serve as forms of self preservation and receiving love, like accomplishing a lot professionally, suppressing our own emotions and prioritizing others, always being on and striving — all things that have helped us advance in life — are, in many ways, in direct conflict with the behaviors and skills that build healthy partnership. That allow us to connect deeply with others, be supported and loved by others, be seen and witnessed in our authenticity.

In the episode I'm breaking down: How we do this, why we perpetuate this cycle, why changing these behaviors can be SO uncomfortable, but how we go about doing so.
