In this weekly check-in, Ress discusses unhealthy alliances with 'losers'. Those who chronically refuse growth and rely on others for emotional, financial, and spiritual support. Ress explores reasons behind forming such alliances, such as trauma bonding, low self-worth, and the savior complex. We delve into patterns of attracting individuals who validate one's competence through their brokenness, and the risk of confusing chemistry with trauma-based familiarity.
