A client will often say to me, "I've finally figured out what I want and need in a relationship," with the sentiment that the figuring out of that has been the piece that's missing and will now help them in finding a partner. And it's not that it won't. It is a piece of it. But the awareness of something, versus the ability to act on and integrate said thing, are completely different. And we're very often repeating behaviors in how we date, who we keep around, etc etc, that are the antithesis of what we want. So we can make those lists and even weave it into dating profile prompts, but none of that makes a difference unless the behavior in your life actually aligns with that which you say you want. And often/always that behavior is very confronting — because it requires confronting old wounds, old patterns, buried grief and trauma, and so forth. That's what I'm digging into in today's episode.
