In today’s episode, Liz is joined by fellow LMFT & relationship coach Keriann Long to discuss finding your person and what the road to that may look like. If you’re single, dating, or hoping to find your person - this one is absolutely for you!

EPISODE NOTES:

  • How we show up in relationships, the partner we choose, and what we look for in our partner can be majorly impacted by trauma we’ve experienced in our past.

  • Bringing a different mindset or approach to how you show up in relationships can make all of the difference.

  • People with anxious attachment styles tend to shut down their own needs when they’re dating or in a relationship.

  • Not everyone has the goal of getting married. Marriage isn’t the only path or the only option for long-term commitment. Our generation is shifting into this mindset.

  • Our generation is also shifting into taking a look at what our beliefs are about relationship and what our best relationship dynamic looks like.

  • The strongest foundation for a relationship is good, open, honest communication rather than just focusing on compatibility.

  • If you’re going to be in a relationship with someone, you’re going to be with several people over that period of time because your partner will change and grow.

  • A healthy, thriving relationship must change over time.

  • We often tend to look for partners and relationships that will heal something from our past or be different from what we learned or experienced growing up.
