“Emotionally Unavailable” used to turn me on It was the challenge for me - and it activated all of my old beliefs about love… Unhelpful beliefs like: - “I have to work for emotional intimacy” - “I have to earn attention, love, and intimacy” - “If I’m good enough/low maintenance enough I won’t be abandoned” Emotionally unavailable partners trigger childhood wounds that have never been healed… And the unconscious wish of the brain is that THIS TIME it could be different This time we would be loved, we would win the attention and love we so craved in childhood, and if we can do this successfully now, it will somehow make up for all of the times we felt neglected/abandoned as children In psychoanalysis we call this: “repetition compulsion” The unconscious secret wish of the ego that through repetition of an unhealthy pattern we may one day “get the desired outcome” This was me, for years. Repeating the same pattern over and over… After finally hitting rock bottom (after a decade of unhealthy dating), and then committing to “doing the work” I’m happy to say “emotionally unavailable” doesn’t turn me on anymore And I can spot it from a mile away ;) If you resonate with the pain of repeating patterns over and over and getting the same result each time you may be interested in the “Rewiring Your Relationship Blueprint” Masterclass I provided recently. In the masterclass I talk about why you are attracted to who you’re attracted to, why you keep repeating patterns, and what you can do about it! Here is the link to the Masterclass so you can take the first step to rewiring your brain for healthy emotionally available love: https://drmorgancoaching.mykajabi.com/rewiring-your-relationship-blueprint-watch-now Forever in your corner - Dr. Morgan

Three words to describe my childhood: Chaos, Unpredictable, and Loss In this podcast episode, I get VERY VULNERABLE about my healing journey; you don’t want to miss it I talk about how I went to therapy… I had thought I had “dealt with it” But the same painful patterns kept showing up in my life no matter how hard I tried… It was not until I hit rock bottom and decided to take OWNERSHIP that I could change I got to a point where I knew I couldn’t live the rest of my life repeating these patterns. I knew I wouldn’t survive through it. I knew deep down I didn’t deserve the pain either. So I went back to therapy, I cried, I fell apart, I journaled every night, I got coaching, I read every book I could… I even got a doctorate in Clinical Psychology I did all the things; I did “the work” It consisted of ownership and falling apart over and over And slowly I built myself back up, I’ve healed many broken parts and I am grateful to say I am a completely different woman today than I was 5, 10 years ago No longer repeating the same patterns I am grateful. AND I am motivated to help other women heal; and for it to be a quicker road for them than it was for me That is where the E.S.L 8 Week program came from I wanted to give women the short-cut; I wanted to empower women in their healing so they could stop wasting time living in pain and suffering This is not just a “business” to me; this is a mission And if you know you need to “do the work”; I invite you to join me A professional, but also someone who has been there. No judgement, just healing Ready? Go apply to the 8 Week E.S.L program using the link in my bio-you have nothing to lose, and all of the healing and peace to gain

Why would you schedule a business meeting, but not time to check in with your partner? You have to KNOW where your relationship is at currently, in order to grow together It’s like saying “hey I really want to get to Chicago” but you don’t know whether you’re starting from Portland or LA… Why would you try to go somewhere without knowing your starting point?!
