On Attachment

#73: Why We Want to Believe in "The One"


Listen Later

In today's episode, I'm unpacking the concept of "the one". When it comes to relationships, many of us have absorbed the conditioning that there is some perfect person out there for us - and our only job is to find them. This can lead us down a rabbit hole of doubt, comparison and low self-worth.

We cover:

  • why the idea of "the one" is unrealistic
  • how it can lead us to doubt our perfectly normal, healthy relationship
  • the unexpected reason why we might seek out "the one"
