After a heartbreaking relationship, you may ask yourself, “Why do I always seem to attract men who are bad for me?” or “Why am I not smart enough to realize when someone is bad for me?”

As a relationship therapist and coach, I don’t think “being smart” has anything to do with it. The reason we fall for the bad guys is that there is something on the inside of us that identifies with how they make us feel.

Why

For example, let’s say a woman was sexually abused as a child and the abuse left her feeling unsafe and unworthy.  This woman never healed from the abuse, so as an adult, she continued to carry around those feelings inside of her. And as time went on, she met a man who resembled “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” One minute he loved her, and the next, he was making her feel down and low. This woman may ask herself “Why do I stay with him when he treats me so bad?” I would say, the woman’s feelings of “being unsafe and unworthy” have attracted a partner who gives her the same familiar feelings. And the longer she carries those feelings the harder it will be to disconnect from the familiar source. This is the same for women who have experienced broken relationships as adults. If healing does not occur they will also eventually find a familiar source to connect to.

Heal to Release Negative Emotions

This is why healing to release past hurts and fears is essential in attracting the relationship you want. We attract to us who we are emotionally on the inside. Now, I am not saying that once you go through the healing process, Mr. Wrong will never want your number. But I am saying that if you are healed, you will be able to see Mr. Wrong for who he really is and say, “No thanks!”
