Why Do I Keep Going Back to My Ex? Understanding the Pull of Past-Relationships


Listen Later

Why do people go back to their exes, even in toxic or abusive relationships? In this episode we break it all down. From the science of trauma bonds, which can create addiction-like patterns in the brain, making it incredibly challenging to walk away to fear of being alone and more. This episode is a safe space to release shame, gain understanding, and provide support for listeners who may be grappling with the decision to leave. We also offer insights for friends and family on how to be supportive without judgment, creating a compassionate path forward for everyone involved.

Key Points Covered:

  • Patterned Behavior and Generational Cycles
  • Trauma Bonds and Toxic Relationships
  • Personal Story of an Abusive Relationship
  • Cultural and Generational Influence
  • Cycle of Abuse and Difficulty in Leaving
  • Breaking the Cycle of Trauma Bonds
  • Strategies for Overcoming Toxic Relationship Patterns
  • Living Beyond the Relationship
