In this episode, the Conversations team explore why some individuals seek emotional or physical validation outside their intimate relationships. Often, it’s not about sex but about fear, trauma, or unmet emotional needs in the primary relationship. They discuss how past experiences, including childhood trauma and early relationship patterns, can create unconscious behaviors that affect trust and intimacy in adult relationships.
Viewers will learn about:
How fear and avoidance shape relationship behaviors
The role of childhood experiences in adult connection patterns
Emotional vs. physical fulfillment in relationships
Common patterns when relationships become more intimate or face life transitions, like having a first child
Understanding these patterns can help individuals navigate relationships more consciously, foster deeper connections, and address unresolved fears and trauma.
