Do you keep attracting emotionally unavailable people even when you consciously know you want something different? The answer may have less to do with who you want and more to do with what your subconscious mind has learned to recognize as familiar.
Episode Summary
In this video, Thais Gibson explains why you may repeatedly feel drawn to emotionally unavailable people and how your relationship with yourself can influence the relationships you choose.
You’ll learn how inconsistent connection can train you to focus outward, how fears of abandonment and rejection can lead to self-abandonment, and why you may invest in people who reflect the way you already treat yourself. Thais also explains how subconscious familiarity influences attraction and why changing your relationship with your own needs, feelings, boundaries, and Core Wounds can help break the cycle.
Key Takeaways
✔️ Inconsistent connection can condition you to become hyper-focused on other people
✔️ Fear of abandonment can lead you to abandon your own needs, feelings, and boundaries
✔️ Core Wounds around rejection, being alone, or feeling unloved can influence relationship patterns
✔️ You may invest in people who treat you similarly to how you treat yourself
✔️ Your subconscious mind can associate familiarity with safety, even when the pattern is unhealthy
✔️ Changing how you show up for yourself can help change who you feel drawn to and invest in
