OM DETTA AVSNITT
Why do you keep entering into the same relationship patterns when you know better?We talk a lot about personal growth, but rarely about where our patterns actually come from. In this episode of Great Things, Adrian sits down with Vienna Pharaon, licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, relationship expert, and author of The Origins of You, for an honest conversation about self-awareness, relationships, and what doing the work really looks like day to day. One thing she said that stuck with us: progress doesn't mean you're never going to re-enter a pattern, it means that when you do, you notice it sooner and exit quicker. Just acknowledging the patterns in your relationships isn't enough; you have to be willing to commit to the consequences if you want to see measurable change.The truth of the matter: it might cost you a relationship if you're trying to make meaningful growth.
