Ep.75/ Why We Tolerate Difficult Relationships
LISTEN HERE
If you have an insecure attachment style (i.e., anxious, fearful avoidant, or dismissive avoidant attachment), you may tend to tolerate difficult relationships for long periods or past their expiration date.
This is because insecure attachment styles associate pain or difficulty with love, as this is what they experienced in past relationships, specifically with their earliest attachment figures. However, just because they know how to endure pain, doesn't mean they have to.
Though seasons of relational hardship are normal, consistent long-term pain or dissatisfaction is not. And there are many reasons why we may stay despite our consistent dissatisfaction.
In this weeks podcast episode, we talk about…
-How each attachment style tolerates difficult relationships.
-Root causes to our pain tolerance.
-Why we are not stuck to these ways of experiencing love.
-Tips on how to move beyond our limitations.
