In this raw and characteristically unfiltered episode of The Secret Life of Therapists, Dr. Habiba Zaman sits down with guest therapist Amanda to pull back the curtain on a heavy, universal truth: the coping behaviors we adopted to survive our youth eventually become the blueprints for how we parent.

Moving far beyond clinical textbook definitions, Habiba and Amanda share honest personal reckonings about how behavioral patterns, like hyper-independence, chronic people-pleasing, and emotional containment, deeply shape our adult identities. They dive into the messy, often painful moment of friction when these exact behavioral shields collide with the unpredictable realities of parenthood.

Amanda Hill, Owner of Connections of Hope Counseling, sits down with Scott Jones to discuss the different aspects of relationships and what makes them healthy vs. unhealthy.

Why do so many of us keep repeating the same painful patterns?

Maybe you struggle to say no. Maybe you feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions. Maybe you constantly question yourself, walk on eggshells around certain people, or wonder why healthy relationships feel so…uncomfortable.

The truth is, these patterns don’t come out of nowhere.

In this conversation, licensed mental health counselor Amanda Hill joins me to unpack what happens when we spend years living in survival mode. We explore how childhood experiences, trauma, unhealthy attachment, and people-pleasing quietly shape our adult relationships—and why so many of us lose sight of who we really are along the way.
