    The White Lotus Couples EXPLAINED by Psychology

    In this deep dive, we use attachment theory to analyze the complicated (and often chaotic) relationships in HBO’s White Lotus — from Season 1’s toxic honeymooners to Season 2’s power-playing couples and a sneak peek at the drama in Season 3. We explore how avoidant, anxious, and secure attachment styles show up in characters like Rachel, Shane, Tanya, Ethan, Harper, Daphne, and more. Whether you’re a psych nerd, a White Lotus superfan, or just fascinated by dysfunctional dynamics, this video breaks down what’s going on beneath the surface of these relationships — and what it says about us as viewers. ---- Watch my FREE Masterclass on how the Behavioral Science of Attraction will fix your relationship here: https://www.successfullyinlove.com/program Check all the products I have: https://stan.store/katarinapolonska Discover more of me at: Website - https://www.katarinapolonska.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katarinapolonska/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarina-polonsky/ Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro 2:07 - What is an attachment theory? 7:19 - White Lotus Season 1 Review 7:31 - Rachel and Shane 13:09 - Nicole and Mark 18:53 - Tanya and Belinda 26:00 - White Lotus Season 2 Review 26:42 - Harper and Ethan 35:29 - Cameron and Daphne 39:21 - Tanya and Greg 41:41 - Portia and Jack 45:38 - White Lotus Season 3 Review 46:14 - Rick and Chelsey 47:30 - Timothy and Victoria 49:12 - 3 Best Friends 50:13 - Saxon and Lochlan 51:40 - Greg and Chloe Hosted on Acast.

    This Fear is DESTROYING Your Relationships!

    If you’ve ever worried that people only want a relationship with you for what you can give — money, status, connections — you’re not alone. In this episode, I dive deep into the hidden fears that successful people carry about being used, manipulated, or betrayed. Whether you’re a high-achieving entrepreneur, or someone burned before, this episode is for you. I unpack why trust issues form, how past experiences shape your subconscious beliefs, and how those beliefs silently attract the very dynamics you’re trying to avoid. More importantly, we explore how to heal trust wounds and rebuild authentic, safe relationships — starting by learning to trust yourself. When you stop second-guessing your intuition and start setting clear emotional boundaries, everything shifts: your romantic life, your friendships, and even your career. If you’re ready to stop living in fear of being used and start connecting from a place of confidence and clarity, be sure to listen! ------- Watch my FREE Masterclass on how the Behavioral Science of Attraction will fix your relationship here: https://www.successfullyinlove.com/program Discover more of me at: Website - https://www.katarinapolonska.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katarinapolonska LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarina-polonsky Timecode: 0:00 - Intro 0:29 - The fear that people are using you 3:12 - Why do we have this fear? 5:05 - You're the reason this is happening 10:59 - How do we change these beliefs?
