Dr. Darcy Sterling, licensed therapist, relationship expert, and host of We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy Sterling, joins the podcast to unpack why so many people confuse anxiety with chemistry—and how our relationship patterns often keep us stuck dating the same types of people over and over again. We talk about why healthy love can initially feel unfamiliar, how childhood experiences shape attraction, and why emotional consistency is often mistaken for a lack of spark. Dr. Darcy also explains the importance of learning your relationship patterns, repairing conflict instead of avoiding it, managing anxiety without making it your partner's responsibility, and why authenticity will always attract healthier relationships than playing games. Plus, we answer listener questions about impossible dating standards, feeling disconnected in healthy relationships, and the three questions everyone should ask before getting serious with someone.
