Anonymous: I Want Love…So Why Do I Keep Running From It?

This episode is different.

Instead of talking about the WAIT framework, you will hear it in action through a real, unscripted conversation with an anonymous guest.

This is the first of several episodes this season where Dr. Lee Long will sit down with anonymous guests and walk through real life situations they are navigating using the WAIT method in real time. Most people do not struggle with understanding concepts. They struggle with applying them in the moments that matter.

What unfolds in this conversation is something many people quietly struggle with. Wanting love, connection, and a future with someone while also feeling the urge to pull away, shut down, or disappear when things start to get real.

As the conversation continues, deeper patterns begin to surface. Fear of losing yourself. Fear of being too much. The internal conflict between knowing you are worthy of love and still protecting yourself from being hurt.

Through it all, one question anchors the entire conversation. Where am I in this?

You will hear how learning to locate yourself, what you think, feel, believe, and experience, can shift the way you show up in relationships without losing who you are.

As you listen, notice what comes up for you. Not just in the story being shared, but in your own, because even if the situation is different, the patterns are often the same.
