🎧 DAY 6: Your "Type" Isn’t a Preference—It’s a Trauma Bond | UNSTUCK: 30 Days to Rewrite Your Love Story

🔥 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

You're swiping on Tinder, pausing at "fit, athletic guys with abs for days"—"He's my type," you sigh. But here's the truth: Your type isn't a preference. It's a trauma bond. That spark you feel? It's not always passion. Sometimes, it's chaos wearing cologne.

In this game-changing episode of Unstuck: 30 Days to Rewrite Your Love Story, host Christy Holt (Ex-Codependent) drops the mic on why you keep falling for emotionally unavailable, six-pack-having, "just ask" guys. Spoiler: It's not them—it's the cycle of highs and lows your nervous system mistakes for "aliveness."

Time to rewire your attraction. Healthy love isn't just about chemistry—it's about safety, consistency, and someone who doesn't make you question where you stand.

"Your type isn't a preference. It's a pattern. And chemistry isn't always passion—sometimes it's chaos wearing cologne."

"Trauma bonds aren't about love. They're about survival. That high? It's just your nervous system recognizing chaos as home."

"You're not waiting for the right one. You're unlearning the wrong ones."

"Healthy love isn't just a spark. It's someone who doesn't make you question where you stand."
