1046. The relationship red flags you shouldn't ignore

What if the chemistry you can't stop thinking about isn't love—it's a trauma response? In this episode, Dr. Ramani Durvasula unpacks why empaths are often drawn to narcissistic relationships and how self-abandonment can disguise itself as empathy.

From understanding the fawn response to redefining what a healthy relationship actually feels like, this conversation will challenge everything you've been taught about chemistry, soulmates, and emotional safety.
