Enjoyed this and want to let us know? Drop us a textWhat if the fight you keep having with your partner was never actually about the washing (or whatever your recurring thing is?)Channel and energy healer, Sarah McGahan, has worked with over 700 women in private healing sessions all over the world, and across all of those sessions, the same three relationship patterns kept showing up, again and again. Not just in romantic relationships — with mothers, with children, with friends, with colleagues, and with themselves. Danielle has done her own healing work with Sarah personally, and in this conversation they go deep into what those three patterns are, where they actually come from, and why doing "all the work" doesn't always make them disappear.The three most common relationship patterns Sarah sees in her private practice and how they are showing up in reality.These patterns usually aren't random. They're typically formed in early childhood, before age seven, through what Sarah calls environmental conditioning.The clearest sign of your own dominant pattern isn't the big dramatic moments — it's something far simpler.Healing a pattern doesn't mean it never gets triggered again but what actually happens when you finally do the work.As Sarah puts it: it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. The pattern wasn't your doing, but breaking it now is yours to carry.What are the three relationship patterns Sarah McGahan talks about? Fear of abandonment (and its variations, fear of loss and fear of betrayal), the need for control, and an unconscious addiction to pain and suffering or drama.Why do I keep repeating the same relationship pattern even after years of therapy? According to Sarah, these patterns are often formed very early in childhood, often even before age seven, and can run so deep that they're often not fully resolved through talk therapy alone. How do I figure out which pattern is mine? One simple question shared by Sarah helps you to understand why even in different relationships, different jobs, different friendships, but the same dynamic keeps showing up. Find Sarah McGahan, Channel and Intuitive HealerSarah's website - ⁠sarahmcgahan.com⁠ Sarah's Instagram- ⁠@channelwithsarah⁠Or find more Danielle -  Website - ⁠daniellecolley.com.au⁠Contact Danielle - [email protected]  Podcast contact: ⁠[email protected]
