Ep. 5 - GUEST EPISODE - Fixing People Who Don't Meet Your Needs


Listen Later

Do you find yourself regularly wanting to "fix" or change the people that you're dating? You know, the ones you could see yourself being with "for real" -- they have so much "potential" -- except something always just seems to be missing? 

This is the case for our guest this episode, who repeatedly finds herself in relationships with people she calls "fixer-uppers" -- people who seem almost perfect for her, except that they aren't showing her that they're quite ready for a "real" relationship. 

If her story sounds at all familiar to you, you'll have a lot to gain from this episode, as we discuss how having an anxious attachment style leads to us settling for and staying in relationships that are past their expiration date, and why trying to "fix" the other person (or yourself) is actually a response to your needs not being fully met.
