The biggest factor shaping your relationships may not be the other person—it may be the version of you that shows up in connection. Lair Torrent, LMFT and author of The Practice of Love, joins Julie & Yue to explore the different “parts” of ourselves that emerge in dating and relationships, from grounded and open to anxious or guarded. He explains how past experiences and emotional patterns influence the way we connect, and how mindfulness can help us recognize these shifts before they quietly shape our relationships.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why different versions of yourself show up in relationships
How trauma and past experiences shape connection
The role mindfulness plays in dating and communication
How protective behaviors can create disconnection
Ways to bring more awareness and authenticity into relationships
