How to Stop Abandoning Yourself in Any Relationship with Aaron Doughty | EP 90
27 May 2025
Why do we keep attracting relationships that don’t feel aligned — and what does that reveal about how we relate to ourselves? In today’s episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Doughty to explore the unseen energetic patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of over-giving, self-abandonment, and people-pleasing. We talk about why empaths are often drawn to narcissists, how early childhood roles shape our identity, and what it really means to reclaim your energy and worth. We also dive into powerful tools like Ho’oponopono, how to stop enabling others while still staying in your heart, and why true healing begins when we stop blaming and start taking full responsibility for the patterns we carry. If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, or drawn to fix others at the cost of yourself, this conversation offers a new perspective on what healing can look like. Tune in and discover how to step out of old survival strategies and into the kind of connection that reflects your true worth. === GUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aarondoughty44 Website: https://aarondoughty.com === Have you watched our previous episode with Robert?

At the deepest level of forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive, which will trigger a lot of people when they hear that. But it's about understanding that it wasn't the divine essence of a person that did that to you. The unconsciousness is what did it. When you start to become okay with people not resonating with you, it's actually something that could be celebrated.
You came here to have the courage to express yourself.

Aaron, I'm so happy to have you here. And I wanted just to dive in and talk about something that I know is really common with relationships. So people oftentimes wonder, why do I keep attracting the same partners? And you talk about this from an energetic perspective, which I'm really curious to hear your thoughts.
Like if somebody's attracting somebody that is, they're trying to fix the person all the time, what would you say is happening on an energetic level? What do you see?
I see two different things going on. I see on one hand, there's an energetic energy that's going on that's being neared back. And on the other hand, there's a spiritual component. I believe that's happening as well. So from the energetic level, it can be that people attract people that are reflections of certain patterns because subconsciously there may be some unresolved energy there and
And based on their beliefs, based on the patterns that they familiarized as a kid, they tend to attract people that mirror that energy back.
