Healing from the Past So You Don’t Repeat It
(Why You Keep Attracting the Same Person in a Different Body)
Healing Relationships on the North Shore of Massachusetts
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns — attracting the same type of partner, repeating the same painful cycles, and wondering why nothing ever changes — you’re not alone. At Soul Warrior Wellness Center in Danvers, MA, I help men and women across the North Shore uncover the root causes of these repeating patterns. True healing doesn’t start with finding someone new — it begins with understanding why you keep choosing the same kind of love. My own journey of breaking these cycles began after years of repeating them, and it became the foundation for the work I do today.
For most of my life, I kept choosing the same partners — just in different bodies.
I was engaged four times, married and divorced once, and even after that divorce, I was still making the same choices.
Different faces, same energy. Same lessons on repeat.
Every relationship started out strong, but eventually, it would unravel the same way. I’d end up questioning why I kept attracting the same type of person — and why it always ended in chaos, pain, or disconnection.
The truth hit me after one brutal breakup — the kind that knocks the wind out of you and forces you to face yourself. It broke me open. For the first time, I went so far inward that I couldn’t run anymore.
I realized my decisions in love weren’t coming from my adult self — they were coming from my wounded self. From my childhood. From the pain of not feeling enough. From the deep-rooted belief that I didn’t deserve more than what I was getting.
I had been programmed for chaos and stress from an early age — and that’s exactly what I kept choosing, over and over again.
Not because it was healthy.
Not because it was safe.
But because it was familiar.
And there’s a big difference.
See, familiarity can feel safe — but it’s not the same as being safe. I kept choosing what I knew, even though it was the very thing that kept hurting me.
I had to learn an entirely new way of being. And that process — that inward journey — became the biggest transformation of my life.
The Subconscious Trap
Most people think they’re making conscious choices. But 95% of what we do, think, and feel comes from the subconscious. That’s the part of your mind shaped by childhood experiences, past heartbreaks, abandonment, betrayal — everything you thought you buried long ago.
You didn’t bury it. You just built your life around it.
When you’re unaware, those old wounds become your compass. They tell you who feels “safe,” even if “safe” means chaos. They tell you who feels “familiar,” even if familiar means pain. You start chasing emotional patterns instead of connection.
So when someone triggers your wound — maybe they ignore you, pull away, criticize you, or make you feel unseen — it feels like home. Not because it’s right, but because it’s known.
And that’s the trap.
Pain Becomes Your Normal
You might think, “I just have bad luck with relationships.” No — you have unhealed pain calling the shots.
If you grew up needing to earn love, you’ll attract partners who make you prove your worth. If you were abandoned, you’ll chase those who pull away — trying to rewrite the story. If you never felt seen, you’ll attach yourself to people who withhold validation — hoping this time it’ll be different.
But it never is. Because the story doesn’t change until you do.
Healing Starts with Awareness
Healing isn’t about blaming your past — it’s about understanding it. Because the moment you become aware of your patterns, they lose power.
You start catching yourself before you fall back into old cycles. You stop mistaking comfort for compatibility. You stop settling for connection that keeps you small.
And that’s when things shift.
Healing means turning inward — facing the uncomfortable truth that the love you’ve been chasing externally… is the love you’ve been withholding from yourself.
It means owning your triggers, your reactions, your fears — not judging them, but learning from them.
Because every trigger is a teacher. Every pattern is a mirror. And every heartbreak is an invitation to come home to yourself.
The Real Wake-Up Call
So, if you’re reading this and something inside you feels heavy… good. That’s your soul knocking.
It’s tired of running in circles. Tired of calling pain “passion.” Tired of trying to fix others instead of healing itself.
The first step isn’t finding someone new. It’s finally facing you.
Start by asking:
What do I keep feeling in every relationship?
When did I first feel that way in my life?
What am I trying to prove or fix through love?
Sit with the answers, even if they sting. Especially if they sting. Because that’s where freedom lives — in the places you’ve been avoiding.
You can’t rewrite your past. But you can stop letting it write your future.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened — it means breaking the pattern so it never controls you again.
Because the truth is… Until you heal what hurt you, you’ll keep attracting people who remind you of it. Same lesson. Different body.
But when you finally do the inner work… When you face the parts of yourself you’ve been running from… That’s when you stop repeating history — and start creating peace.
