Welcome back, rebels!

Are you stuck in the same exhausting relationship patterns, wondering why you keep attracting the same type of partner? Ready to rebel against the unconscious cycles that keep you trapped in toxic dynamics?

Then this conversation with Dr. Nima Rahmany will transform how you understand relationships, triggers, and the deep connection between emotional wounds and physical health.

What You'll Discover:

The shocking link between relationship trauma and chronic illness - How relational ruptures create physical health problems that doctors can't solve with pills

Dr. Nima's transformation story - From successful chiropractor to relationship expert after his own toxic relationship turned abusive

The narcissist-codependent dance explained - Why these two attachment styles are "like moth to a flame" for each other

The unconscious deal that creates trauma bonds - How childhood wounds drive us to recreate familiar but harmful dynamics

Why traditional couples therapy fails - The difference between first-order and second-order change in healing

The "Infinite Loop of Doom" - How anxious-avoidant cycles destroy your nervous system and health

Becoming trigger-proof vs. trigger-less - Learning to use triggers for deeper connection instead of destruction

Key Quotes:

Dr. Nima: "The thing is, we don't know what's there until we're in a relationship. And there's something about intimate relationships where there's the vulnerability... where now the attachment hooks are in and you're no longer governed by your kind of adult brain anymore. It's the child brain that takes over."

Dr. Nima: "My sense of safety depends on your validation and approval of me. Your disconnect, your dysregulation becomes my dysregulation. There's no boundary energetically between what's happening inside of you and me. It's like a skinless peach."

Gregory Anne: "Anybody who's listening who feels like they're looking for that next person and can't seem to find somebody different, I think there's some work to be done."

Dr. Nima: "Becoming trigger proof doesn't mean trigger less. It means responsive. What do I do to self-soothe? Then how do I communicate from my adult self rather than from the child self?"

The Rebellious Truth About Relationship Patterns:

While conventional wisdom focuses on communication skills and compromise, the real work lies in understanding how childhood attachment wounds unconsciously drive us to recreate familiar dynamics. Dr. Nima's approach reveals that toxic relationships aren't random - they're unconscious attempts to heal unfinished business from our earliest relationships.

Who This Episode is Perfect For:

✓ Rebels tired of attracting the same type of toxic partner

✓ Anyone stuck in anxious-avoidant relationship cycles

✓ People dealing with chronic health issues tied to relationship stress

✓ Those ready to break generational patterns of dysfunction

✓ Anyone curious about the deep connection between emotional and physical health

✓ People who've tried traditional therapy without lasting results

The Bottom Line:

Sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is refuse to stay unconscious in our relationship patterns. Dr. Nima's work proves that we don't have to keep repeating the same toxic cycles - but breaking free requires going deeper than surface-level changes.

Your triggers aren't the enemy - they're messengers pointing you toward the wounds that need healing. The goal isn't to avoid being triggered, but to develop the skills to respond rather than react.

Ready to become trigger-proof instead of trigger-avoidant? Start by understanding your attachment style and recognizing that the pattern you're in has nothing to do with your current relationship and everything to do with unhealed childhood wounds.

About Dr. Nima Rahmany:

Former chiropractor turned relationship expert specializing in shadow work and emotional regulation. Creator of the "trigger-proof" methodology and founder of the Cycle Breakers Collective. Known for his deep understanding of narcissist-codependent dynamics and trauma bond healing.
