So I'm stuck in this rut where I only attract and feel attracted to emotionally unavailable women with all the heartache (rejection, drama, etc) it accompanies. Angela, do you have any suggestion how to break through this?

(P.S. I feel that I'm not the only one in this. It seems to be pretty common that people are aware they are in destructive patterns, really want to change it, but wouldn't know how to change it. And therefore they are stuck in the same destructive patterns over and over)
A guy named Steven Carter wrote some superb books about this. I'd recommend checking them out.
