Our Parents...Our Partners

Why we keep attracting the same person over and over again

You didn’t choose who you attract from a blank slate. Before you had words, you assembled a composite image of the people who raised you — their warmth, their absence, what you had to become to be worth their attention. That image became a template. It’s been choosing ever since.

It isn’t looking for someone who makes you happy. It’s looking for someone familiar enough.

What we’ll do

Three hours. Online.

• Map both parents. What they gave, what they withheld, what you swore you’d never repeat.
• Put that map next to your relationship history.
• Watch the pattern surface on its own.
• Look at what it’s been trying to accomplish.

Then the part that matters: catching it while it’s happening, instead of six months in.
