Why You Keep Attracting the Same Relationship Patterns: Childhood Trauma, Attachment Styles & Conscious Love with Riana Milne

Why do we keep attracting the same relationship patterns, even when we desperately want something different? Today I'm joined by internationally renowned Trauma Recovery expert, bestselling author, and licensed Mental Health Counsellor Riana Milne to explore how childhood trauma shapes our adult relationships, attachment styles, self-worth, communication patterns, and capacity for love. Drawing on more than 26 years of clinical experience, Riana shares her Top 10 Childhood Traumas framework and explains how experiences such as emotional neglect, abandonment, bullying, addiction in the family, criticism, and unstable caregiving continue to influence our lives long into adulthood. If you've ever wondered why the same struggles keep showing up in your relationships, or why love sometimes feels harder than it should, this conversation offers profound insight, practical tools, and a hopeful path forward. Because healing your past may be one of the most powerful ways to transform your future.     === GUEST LINKS: Website: https://rianamilne.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoachRianaMilne  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/RianaMilne/videos  Podcast: Lessons in Life and Love === VILATES •Website: https://www.vilates.com/      •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vilates_/   •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fs2KlkHNzICKAg2crZSMB     •Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ecology-of-intimacy-podcast/id1772602980     === . . . .
