In this episode, I delve into the concept of the "substitute" in relationships. I explore how our early experiences with parents and caretakers shape our expectations and desires in romantic relationships. I discuss the unconscious tendency to seek substitutes for certain qualities or roles, and how this can hinder genuine connection. I also touch on the risks of using others as substitutes and the importance of conscious relating. By reflecting on our own patterns and understanding the role of substitution, we can cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships. No action requested, just food for thought!
