Episode 2 Relationship Templates, How we were loved, how we love and how we receive love

In this episode of 'Better at Being Human,' we explore the concept of a relationship template and how this psychological framework forms based on childhood experiences and how it influences the people we attract into our lives, particularly in romantic relationships.

We explore the dormant nature of these templates and how they become active when we meet potential partners who match these ingrained patterns. I highlight the importance of recognising and examining these templates to avoid repeating unhealthy relationship cycles and encourages cultivating stable, mature, and wholesome love.
