S11E18: How you're wired (for relationships)

If you're into attachment theory & personality types, prepare to have your mind blown as we chat with Dr. Avigail Lev, PsyD about how our thought patterns and beliefs (aka our schemas) shape everything from how we show up for relationships to which partners we choose. We discuss how early childhood shapes how we show up in relationships today, the love traps we tend to fall into due to our beliefs, and how you can change your behavior to have the love life you've always wanted Learn more about Dr. Avigail Lev and her services at CBT Online (https://cbtonline.com) and Bay Area CBT (https://bayareacbtcenter.com).
