EP 22: Why do your Relationships Fail: Understanding Repetition Compulsion

Would you like to know one of the main reasons why your relationships may be failing over and over? Do you ever feel like you’re repeating the same pattern over and over again just with a different person? Same relationship, different haircut? Then this episode is for you.  In today’s episode, we explore a theory that Dr. Sigmund Freud called “Repetition Compulsion.” Even though Freud’s theories are from nearly a century ago, many of them are still very relevant today.  In this episode, we do a deep dive on how this theory can help explain why the heck we do what we do in relationships, and why we do it over and over again.  This episode will teach you exactly what Repetition Compulsion is and why understanding it just may help you break any hurtful patterns in your love life. In this episode we will also learn how to apply this theory, and how it relates to Attachment Theory.  Trust me, you don’t want to miss this episode.
