Hey Besties! Welcome to the month of LOVE! This month we will be diving into everything relationships so you know what that means…the good, the bad, and the unavoidable uglyTo kick off love month on Almost Adulting Violet is joined by human connection specialist and friend of the show, Mark Groves! Mark is the founder of Create The Love movement and is a self-described ‘emotional translator’. Together the two focus on the painful topic of why so many of us are not only consistently drawn to unavailable people, but spend so much time being caretakers and trying to ‘fix’ them. Violet and Mark then deep dive into the baggage many of us carry and explain how so many of us unknowingly exist in an emotionally dysregulated response state - which may explain an issue or two in your relationship. Besties, we’re kicking off love month strong with things you NEED to be aware of, but it’ll feel good in the end. Can’t have the good without weeding out the bad!Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm What to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:04 Why are people emotionally unavailable?04:03 Signs that tell you’re emotionally unavailable09:58 Different people bring our different attachment styles15:34 Dating is not black and white anymore20:02 You have to learn discernment22:53 Dating is a sorting process26:20 Taking the caretaker role30:04 Dysregulated response state 36:11 A regulated and secure person38:19 You need to express your thoughts42:00 You are the five people closest to you43:00 Should you stay or leave a relationship?46:02 Be the creator of your life 50:02 Venting out or seeking advice?Connect with Mark on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/createthelove/Twitter https://twitter.com/createtheloveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/markgrov...Create the Love https://createthelove.com/Get more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
