It’s human nature to crave attention, it can be the validation that soothes, distracts, stimulates, creates pleasure or reduces pain. Attention seeking can be a wide range of behaviours and understanding when yourself or others are seeking attention can empower you to see the cycle, know the root cause and gain clarity.

Today’s guests, Melissa & Iain Roberts, join us to share about their own relationship from long distance to newlywed, the gum ball love framework and how attention seeking has impacted their lives and relationships.

We chat

• Critically looking at yourself and unpacking your behaviours
• The 8 flavours of attention
• Avoiding attention seeking behaviours in a relationship. 

 

8 flavours of attention- Attention Seeking (validation seeking) v’s Connection Seeking1. Red - Arouse me (turn me on)2. Orange - Fight me (drama)3. Yellow - Entertain me (never happy - complainer)4. Green - Compete for me (envy - there is always someone else in the picture)5. Blue - Pity me (Feel sorry for me, always want a problem not a solution, people pleasers fall for Pity me)6. Purple - Idolise me (centre of attention, talks to everyone else at the party)7. Pink - Chase me (reaches out, doesn’t make plans)8. White - Convince me (Superiority, “all women are XYZ - make me think otherwise")

Better Relationships

We empower couples to create thriving relationships so that they can play all out in life, set big goals and put plans in place to actually achieve them.

Better World

Many research studies have shown that great relationships are associated with better health, greater happiness, and even a longer life. If more of us had thriving, healthy, happy romantic relationships, we know we would have a better world. That's why, every time someone works with us, via our partnership with Buy1Give1 we also help someone else in the world. Yep a stranger, someone you'll never meet.
