Every week in therapy rooms across the country, couples walk in thinking their dynamic is unique.

It’s not.

In this VIP episode of In Session, we’re pulling back the curtain on the relationship patterns therapists see over and over again — the pursuer/withdrawer cycle, the silent scorekeeper marriage, trauma bonds disguised as chemistry, and the conversations couples avoid at all costs.

This is not surface-level advice. This is what actually shows up in the room.

To hear the full conversation — including the patterns most couples don’t realize they’re repeating — subscribe to our VIP access.

Trust us… you may hear yourself in this one.

Is it love… or just the spark?

In this episode of In Session, we’re unpacking one of the most confusing dynamics in modern relationships: the tension between emotional safety and chemistry. Many people feel torn between relationships that feel exciting but unstable, and ones that feel secure but unfamiliar—or even boring.

We explore how chemistry often activates the nervous system, why emotional safety can feel flat if you’re used to chaos, and how attachment patterns shape what we interpret as attraction. Most importantly, we talk about whether you really have to choose between safety and passion or if healthy relationships allow space for both to grow.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Why do I miss relationships that weren’t good for me?”
• “Why doesn’t this healthy connection feel exciting?”
• “Am I settling or healing?”

This episode is for you.

Insightful, grounding, and deeply validating. This conversation will help you rethink what love actually feels like when it’s healthy.

Attachment styles are everywhere online — anxious, avoidant, secure — but what do they actually look like in real life, beyond a 30-second clip?

In this episode, we slow the conversation down and unpack attachment theory the way it shows up in real relationships, workspaces, families, and friendships — not just on social media. We talk about why attachment styles aren’t personalities or diagnoses, how they’re formed in relationship, and why they tend to show up most when we feel emotionally unsafe, unseen, or uncertain.

We also gently challenge some common TikTok myths:
– Why avoidant people do care (even if it doesn’t always look that way)
– Why anxious attachment isn’t about being “too much”
– Why secure attachment doesn’t mean you never struggle
– And why most people don’t fit neatly into one box

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “Why do I keep showing up like this in relationships?” — and wants understanding without shame, labels without rigidity, and hope without oversimplification.

Because attachment isn’t about what’s wrong with you — it’s about what you learned, and what can still be healed.
