If you've experienced patterns of unfulfilling love in your life, this episode will offer you some important insight. 

When we are looking for love, we are often tuning into subtle cues that reflect our past pain.  Believe it or not, this is often what generates our attraction to people.

Sometimes, we are not seeking fulfilling love but rather we are seeking someone with whom we can play out these past patterns, someone who will create in us the familiar feelings of loss or longing that we've known throughout our lives. 

Unconsciously, we associate these feelings with love and when we meet someone who doesn't create these feelings in us, the resulting experience is a lack of attraction or interest.

In this episode, I'm explaining the subconscious dynamics of how this operates and sharing practical steps you can take to heal this.

Thanks for listening, lots of love,

Shane
