DATING REHAB: How to recover after being told you're TOO MUCH, noticing self-sabotage + finding security in relationships

Week 3 of Dating Rehab: unpacking self-sabotage, being told "you're too much," and why Eden is done waiting to be chosen.Eden and dating coach Eimear from Kindling Dating Coaching dig into the "old story" Eden tells herself about relationships - including the pattern of pushing partners away early so she can't be hurt later. They explore her fearful-avoidant (disorganised) attachment style, why relationship beliefs tend to form by around age 21, and the difference between acting from love versus acting from fear.Eden reframes being called "too much," and Eimear names a pattern she's noticed: waiting to be chosen instead of actively choosing who's right for you. Plus practical, low-cost dating advice - Eden's coffee-date-first approach and her framework for what to focus on across date one, two and three - and a listener dilemma about how to date on a budget without every night ending in drinks, regret and never seeing the person again.Get your love story started with Kindling Dating Coaching now 💗Heartbreak is so last season, and I've teamed up with Eimear from Kindling Dating Coaching to transform my dating life over the next six weeks.
