Episode 5 - The Trap of Looking to Others for Understanding, Acceptance and Validation
Episode 5
Wednesday, 17 September, 2025
Do you ever feel like you’re having the same argument on repeat—going in circles with no resolution? In this episode of Head to Heart, we explore why recurring conflicts often feel like figure eights, looping again and again. At the core, many of us are seeking understanding (“I just want you to get it”), acceptance (“I want to know I’m okay with you”), or approval (“I want you to see me as good”).When those desires drive our communication, they can actually keep us stuck in the cycle instead of moving us forward. Join Julie as she unpacks how to recognize these patterns, why they matter, and practical ways to step out of the loop into healthier, freer connection.
