"Many of us say we want to be in a relationship or married, but our actions don’t consistently reflect this desire. We are aware of the idea of people having commitment phobia, yet we stereotype these individuals as “forever bachelor” types or those who only date others for a few months before breaking things off. This narrow view of commitment phobia excludes those of us who are better at hiding their fears, which are probably the majority of people who struggle with this issue. Being afraid of commitment has the ability to keep you in an endless cycle of dating without authentic relationship development or even married without true monogamy and vulnerability." In Episode 14, Dr. Drea shares examples from her own life, dealing with commitment phobia, and encourages listeners to assess their behaviors to figure out if fear is leading to sabotage in their relationships. She also provides self-work questions to assist in the self-assessment process.
