In this revealing episode of Relationship Dish, Pam and Iona unpack how the dynamics we learned from our parents quietly shape who we love\u2014and how we relate. From Pam\u2019s emotionally distant father who lived \u201cneck-up,\u201d to Iona\u2019s unpredictable, larger-than-life dad whose approval could feel like winning the lottery, both hosts explore how early attachment wounds create blueprints for attraction. Your brain, they explain, is literally wired to seek out what it knows\u2014even if what it knows is dysfunctional. So how do we stop replaying those old family patterns in our adult relationships? The Dishers dive into why the familiar can feel deceptively safe, how to spot when your trauma is steering the ship, and the essential work of filling your own emotional holes\u2014rather than expecting your partner to. Because healing starts when we stop asking our lovers to do what our parents couldn\u2019t.
