Episode 3055: Dr. Lisa Firestone explains how our earliest attachment experiences create internal “working models” that shape who we choose as partners, how we behave in relationships, and what we expect from others. By understanding these patterns and creating a coherent narrative of our childhood experiences, we can develop greater security, break unhealthy cycles, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/where-relationship-patterns-come-from/ Quotes to ponder: "The way we experienced relationships in our very early lives creates an “internal working model” for how we view relationships throughout our lives." "The good news is, we are not doomed to repeat the patterns of our past. We can change our model, but we have to identify it, so we can challenge it." "If we’re wondering why certain dynamics keep playing out or patterns keep developing in our relationships, it’s important to consider the working models we’re bringing to the table."
