Do We Attract People or Do We Entertain Them?

In this 10-minute episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, explore the question: Do we attract certain people, or do we choose to entertain them? Through the lens of attachment theory, I unpack why we’re often drawn to what feels familiar rather than what is healthy, how childhood patterns can shape our adult relationships, and why we may unconsciously try to “change the ending” of old wounds. As a couples therapist, I also bring in an IFS perspective and share reflective questions to help you understand which parts of you become activated in certain relationship dynamics. If you keep finding yourself in similar patterns, this episode is an invitation to look inward with curiosity, compassion, and greater awareness.
