Why Do We Attract Painful Relationships

Many people believe leaving a relationship will end the pain. Often, it doesn’t. That’s because emotional patterns are internal. The mind translates new experiences using old references. Until those references change, the same relationship dynamics repeat no matter who you’re with. This video explains why the brain keeps choosing familiar patterns and how repetition is a learned response. #robertgene #fastereft #RelationshipPatterns #EmotionalPrograms #LearnedResponses

Here's Why You're Attracted to Alcoholics

Dating alcoholics? No alcoholics in your family? A childhood memory may be the hidden link. Love and alcohol linked unknowingly. #robertgene #fastereft #EmotionalPatterns #RelationshipMemory #LearnedAttraction

Her Stepdad's Insults Shaped Her Relationships

Many people believe their relationship problems come from the type of people they date. More often, they come from learned roles. Early experiences train the unconscious how relationships work. Those roles get repeated. Sometimes by playing them, sometimes by attracting the opposite role. This video explains how emotional programs form and why the same relationship dynamic keeps returning.

37 Episode - Shocking Answers - Empaths, Boundaries, Weight Loss, Being Stuck, Trauma, Memories!

linktr.ee/robertgenesmith You asked the questions people really want answered—about trauma, triggers, pain, overeating, “empaths,” boundaries, and why your brain keeps replaying the same patterns… and Robert Gene doesn’t sugarcoat any of it. In this episode, Robert (creator of eutaptics® and FasterEFT™) answers the most common questions he’s gotten over decades of helping people update emotional patterns and memories—fast. Some of these answers might surprise you. A few might straight-up shock you. But if you’ve ever thought, “Why do I still react like this when I KNOW better?” …this is for you. In this Q&A, you’ll hear answers to questions like: Why does tapping even work? What’s actually changing in the brain? What’s the biggest “miracle” he’s witnessed in one session? (Real stories.) Which perceptual position changes a memory faster—1st, 2nd, or 3rd? Why do “empaths” feel other people’s emotions… and what’s really happening? Why do I react so strongly to small things? (Hypervigilance explained.) Why do boundaries feel cruel… and why boundaries alone don’t fix the cause Is it normal to feel numb instead of sad? (Freeze/fawn responses) Overeating, cravings, and weight gain: what’s the deeper “driver” underneath? Why don’t people remember smells/tastes in memories—unless it matters? What if you can’t change a memory? What do you do next?

Forgiveness is not “pretending it didn’t happen”—it’s changing what your brain is still running now. 2. You can logically understand your issue and still not change—because logic and neurological programming are different systems. 3. Trauma is an internalized representation of events (not the event itself), and that representation can be updated. 4. Pain and symptoms can be “expressions” of emotional conditioning and unresolved experiences. 5. Perceptual positions (1st/2nd/3rd) affect how intensely a memory is experienced and how it can be changed. 6. “Empathy” often becomes projection—building your own internal pain patterns. 7. Overeating and compulsions can be metaphoric expressions of emotional training, scarcity, and learned associations. 8. Humor and “opposites” can flip a memory’s meaning and reduce emotional charge fast. 9. Boundary-setting alone doesn’t heal what created the need for boundaries. 10. A structured “peace list” helps you target the experiences that shaped identity, fear, and triggers. 11. PTSD is the brain’s present-day reaction to past data—change the data, change the reaction. 12. You’re responsible for your healing: learn the skill, apply it, and your life follows. #RobertGene, #FasterEFT, #eutaptics, #EFT, #Tapping, #EmotionalHealing, #Forgiveness, #TraumaHealing, #PTSDRecovery, #AnxietyRelief, #NervousSystem, #Neuroplasticity, #MemoryReconsolidation, #EmotionalRegulation, #InnerWork, #SelfHealing, #MindBodyConnection, #PersonalDevelopment, #ShadowWork, #HealingJourney

Why You Attract the Wrong Person And How to Break that Cycle

Many people leave relationships hoping the pain will stop. But the hurt often comes with them. That’s because attraction is guided by learned emotional links not conscious choice. One experience can connect love with something else, and the brain repeats that pattern automatically. This video explains how emotional imprints form and why the same relationship cycle keeps returning. #robertgene #fastereft #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipPatterns

Your Parents Didn't Screw You Up

It's not what happened to you, but how you internalized it. Many people believe their problems come from what their parents did. More accurately, they come from what the brain learned. Experiences are internalized as references. Those references guide attraction, behavior, and repetition. This video explains how memory, perception, and learned responses shape relationships. And why the same patterns keep returning.

Why Red Flags Don’t Stop Attraction

Many people wonder why they ignore red flags in relationships. It’s not denial. It’s memory. Early emotional imprints create an internal image of connection. That image overlays reality during attraction, causing the same patterns to repeat. This video explains the mechanics behind attraction, repetition, and why red flags don’t stop the cycle. #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipAdvice #SelfLove #RedFlags #ToxicRelationships #EmotionalAwareness

Why Relationships Cause Most Problems

Many people try to fix habits, behaviors, or outcomes without understanding where they start. Most patterns trace back to relationships. Early experiences become emotional references. Those references guide attraction, decisions, and repetition. Relationships shape our identity and values, impacting whether we feel loved or unloved. This video explains how the unconscious mind records relationships and why the same cycles keep returning. #robertgene #fastereft #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipAdvice #UnconsciousMind

Lonely In Your Marriage? Fix That Cycle.

Many people feel lonely in their marriage and assume something is wrong with them or their partner. It’s usually neither. Relationships follow learned emotional programs formed early in life. Those programs repeat until the reference changes. This video explains how memory, repetition, and unconscious patterns shape connection. And why the same relationship experience keeps returning. February is where we take a deeper look at this pattern and how it forms. #fastereft #RobertGene #FasterEFT #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipAdvice #UnconsciousMind #MarriageHelp #SelfDiscovery

Victoria's Life-Changing Transformation Journey with FasterEFT

Most people don’t fail to change. They repeat because the same reference keeps running. When that reference updates, behavior and relationships reorganize naturally. This video explains why effort isn’t enough and why structure matters. #RobertGene #FasterEFT #EmotionalHealing #Transformation #InnerPeace #SelfImprovement

Same Family, Different Relationships

Most people think change should feel intense. It doesn’t. When emotional programs update, relationships reorganize on their own. This video shows what real change looks like when repetition stops and the original reference is no longer running. #robertgene #fastereft #EmotionalHealing #relationshippatterns

One Memory Can Change Your Whole Life

Most people think their relationship struggles are about choice, personality, or bad luck. They’re not. They’re about memory. One early experience can become a reference point. From that reference, the brain builds patterns. Those patterns repeat, automatically. You don’t attract the same person. You replay the same memory. This video explains how emotional programs form and why changing the original reference changes everything downstream.

That One Childhood Memory Changed His Life

Why do patterns keep repeating? It’s because old memories are still active. In this clip from The Robert Gene Experience, Robert talks about working with a man whose childhood memory was still running his reactions (having fun as a kid, then being punished for it). That memory was still there. Still shaping how he felt and responded. When the memory was updated, the emotional charge changed. And he said, “That changed my life.” The past didn’t change. How it lived inside him did. That’s how change actually happens. What if a painful memory could transform into compassion? #robertgene #fastereft #EmotionalHealing #MemoryReframe #ChildhoodTrauma #relationshippatterns

What is a Behavioral Engineer | 02

Behavior isn’t a personal failure. It’s a system doing exactly what it was trained to do. A behavioral engineer looks at how behavior was built (memory, repetition, and internal references), and redesigns the operating system. This approach isn’t belief-based. It’s mechanical. Like math. Change the parts that created the behavior, and the behavior updates. If you want direct, personal work, book a 1-on-1 session.👇 linktr.ee/robertgenesmith #robertgene #fastereft #BehavioralEngineer #MentalMechanics #PersonalPower #EmotionalHealing #SelfOwnership

What is a Behavioral Engineer

Behavior isn’t a personal failure. It’s a system doing exactly what it was trained to do. A behavioral engineer looks at how behavior was built (through memory, repetition, and internal references). When the components that created the behavior are updated, the behavior changes naturally. This is not about motivation or effort. It’s about mental mechanics. In this clip from The Robert Gene Experience, Robert explains what a behavioral engineer is and how behavior can be redesigned by updating the operating system that runs it.

From Scared to Confidently Speaking Up on Podcasts

Freezing after a mistake isn’t a personal flaw. It’s a learned response. Early experiences around authority, school, and family create rules about safety and permission. When a mistake happens, those rules get replayed. The body reacts to what the mind holds. This video explains how memory-driven patterns create freeze responses and how updating internal references changes behavior.

How Family Dynamics Shape Your Life

Personality is not something you’re born with. It’s something the brain learns. Family dynamics, birth order, and early emotional experiences train coping skills. Over time, those coping skills become identity. This video explains how the brain gathers experiences, organizes them, and builds a working model of who you think you are. These patterns are learned responses. When the internal references change, behavior and identity update. To learn how this works step by step, start with the free 5-day course.

How Women Are Trained to Carry Guilt

Misery is not a personal failure. It’s a learned pattern. Families, culture, and early experiences train emotional programs that repeat automatically. Women and men often express the same conditioning differently, but the source is the same... memory and repetition. When you understand how a pattern became successful, you can change the ingredients that keep it running.

You Can’t Change the Past, But You Can Change This!

You can’t change the past because it doesn’t exist anymore. What exists is how the brain represents it. Beliefs are created from internal references (images, sounds, sensations) and reinforced by the body’s physical response. Stress and emotion act as proof that makes a belief feel real. Fear is a belief. Identity is a belief. Limitations are beliefs. When the internal representation of a memory changes, the belief built from it dissolves. This video explains how beliefs are formed and how they can change by updating memory, not by force or positive thinking. To learn how this works step by step, start with the free 5-day course.

Why Some Victims Become Abusers

Early emotional experiences don’t define who you are. They train how you respond. In this video, Robert Gene Smith explains how abuse and early emotional conditioning create learned roles (victim, abuser, or both.) These roles are not personality traits or moral failures. They are memory-based strategies the brain uses to survive. Judgment keeps these patterns locked in place. When the internal reference changes, behavior changes. This is not about blame. It’s about understanding how patterns form and how they can change. To learn how this works step by step, start with the free 5-day course.

How Parents And Society Shape You And Your Problems

Where do problems actually begin? Not in adulthood. Not in relationships. Not at work. They begin at birth, when the brain starts recording experience. Family dynamics, birth order, emotional reactions, and early roles are internalized and turned into identity. That identity becomes the operating system running behavior, decisions, and emotional responses. These patterns are not personality flaws. They are learned references. When the references change, the system updates. This video explains how identity is formed and why lasting change requires updating what was learned early on.

The Reason Pain Drives Behavior

Pain doesn’t control you by accident. It controls behavior when the brain keeps replaying old experiences. The body is not broken. It’s responding to what the mind references as important. In this video, Robert Gene Smith explains the mind-body connection in practical terms (how thoughts, memories, and learned responses directly affect physical sensations and behavior). What most people call trauma is not what happened in the past. It’s what the brain captured, organized, and continues to use in the present. When the internal reference changes, the body responds differently. If you want to learn how this works step by step, start with the free 5-day course.

Why You Keep Attracting the Same People

Why do the same relationship patterns keep showing up? Because the brain filters reality through memory. It highlights what feels familiar, not what’s healthy. That’s why changing locations, jobs, or people doesn’t fix the problem. Change happens when the references change. Start your emotional healing journey today. Learn more about FasterEFT now!

The Problem With Coping Skills

Why do good experiences fade but the problem stays? Because feeling better doesn’t update memory. Coping skills (food, shopping, distractions), work short-term and cost long-term when the original memories never change. Real change happens when the brain updates what it’s repeating. That’s what this work is about.

The Key to Lasting Change Is To Unpack Your Mental Baggage

Decades of carrying emotional baggage? It's time to unpack. Why do people try everything… and still feel the same? Because most solutions don’t address the real problem. They don’t change the memories driving behavior. Food isn’t the issue. Shopping isn’t the issue. Distraction isn’t the issue. Memory and identity are. When memories stay the same, the pattern repeats... even if the experience feels new. If you want change that lasts, you change what you’re carrying. Start with my free 5-day course.

Why You Feel Different After Changing a Memory

When you change a memory, you don’t just feel better, you feel different. That’s because identity is built from references. Your brain uses past experiences as data to decide who you are. Change the data, and the system updates. You’re not your memories. You’re the one using them. This is the foundation of FasterEFT. Not coping. Updating.

The Real Reason You Keep Repeating the Same Problems

Most people think their problems are about what’s happening now. They’re not. They’re about memory. Your brain records experiences without judgment and replays them on a loop. How you were treated as a child. What happened at school. Your body. Money. Relationships. Accidents. Illness. The brain is a recycler. It repeats the past and presents it as the present. That’s why patterns feel personal. That’s why change feels hard. And that’s why motivation doesn’t last. You’re not broken. You’re running learned programs. When you change how a memory is represented, the future reorganizes itself. Not through force. Not through positive thinking. But by updating what the brain keeps replaying. This is the foundation of FasterEFT and eutaptics®. It’s not about coping with the past. It’s about changing it. If you want to experience how this works, start with the free 5-day FasterEFT course.
