Have you ever reacted to something your partner did and thought, “Why did that affect me so much?”
The answer may have started long before this relationship — and even before your first experience with love.
Without realizing it, we grow up absorbing a set of rules about relationships: how love should be expressed, what conflict means, how much closeness feels safe, whether asking for help is acceptable, and what we should do when we’re afraid of losing someone.
In this episode of Love Hacks, Renée explores our Love Models — the unconscious relationship blueprints we inherit from the environments in which we grew up.
What happens when someone who learned to confront problems falls in love with someone who learned to withdraw? Why can one partner experience independence as healthy while the other experiences it as rejection? And why can we sometimes pull away precisely when a relationship starts becoming more intimate?
We’ll look at how two completely different love models can collide inside an adult relationship — leaving both people feeling misunderstood even when neither is deliberately doing anything wrong.
Most importantly, we explore how to identify the scripts you may still be carrying, trace where they came from, and decide which ones deserve a place in your relationships today.
Because your past can explain your patterns.
But it doesn’t have to keep writing your relationships for you.
