Breakup to Blessing

How Your Past Can Hold You Back From Being in a Healthy Relationship Ep. 125


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns, even when you know better? Or wondered why certain triggers in love feel so intense—like you're reliving something old?

In this episode, I explore how unresolved past experiences—especially from childhood and previous relationships—can quietly shape the way we show up in love. From emotional triggers to attachment styles, I unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways our past can get in the way of building safe, fulfilling connections.

We'll talk about:

  • The hidden patterns that often go unnoticed
  • Why your nervous system reacts the way it does in relationships
  • Common signs your past might be running the show
  • How to begin breaking free from protective behaviours that no longer serve you

This is a reflective, gentle, and honest conversation that invites you to look inward with compassion—not criticism. Whether you're single, dating, in a relationship, or navigating healing after a breakup, this episode offers insight and hope.

🗝 Key Takeaways:

  • Our earliest relationships shape how we relate, connect, and protect ourselves
  • Emotional triggers in relationships often point to old wounds—not just current problems
  • People-pleasing, avoidance, or hyper-independence are often protective responses
  • Healing is possible through awareness, self-compassion, and safer relationships

💬 Journal Prompts or Reflection Questions:

  • What relationship patterns do I keep repeating?
  • When do I feel most emotionally reactive in love—and what might that be connected to?
  • What would it look like to show up as my authentic self in a relationship?
