How to Let the Right Person in Without Losing Yourself with Tasleem - a podcast by Veronica Grant

Imagine doing the inner work to overcome the need for other people’s approval to feel worthy, only to find yourself constantly attracting that kind of person as a potential romantic partner. Are you doomed to repeat the pattern, or do you believe you have the power to disrupt it?

In the past, Tasleem felt like the anxiously attached, needy partner in relationships. Even though she did the work to vanquish it, she’s now attracting men who seem to fit the anxious attachment style. In this episode, I talk about attachment styles, specifically anxious attachment, and help her discover the conditioning that underlies why these types of men are drawn to her.

2:07 - The one caveat you need to hear about attachment styles

6:25 - Tasleem describes how she used to be a needy dating partner

8:22 - Exposing the patriarchal programming behind the “overly sensitive” label

17:02 - Anxiously attached or love bombers: which type is Tasleem actually attracting?

24:50 - How anxiously attached people are also emotionally unavailable, just in a different way

30:44 - The process of getting comfortable expressing your needs to others

35:35 - Summarizing the key takeaways from the coaching call
