Emotional Jumping: The Cost of Monkey-Branching

Ever heard of “monkey-branching”? It’s when someone lines up the next relationship before letting go of the current one.

And while it might seem smart or protective—what it really signals is emotional fear. It’s a survival strategy that avoids vulnerability and delay discomfort. But in doing so, it delays growth.

If you're stuck in this cycle or have been hurt by someone who is, this week’s Relationship Rescue episode breaks it all down in a way that’s real, relatable, and rooted in growth.

What Monkey-Branching Says About You

• You’re scared to be alone

• You’re avoiding conflict or discomfort

• You’re craving attention more than connection

This habit isn’t just unhealthy—it’s unfair. It creates confusion, false hope, and emotional chaos for everyone involved.

How to Break the Pattern

• Be honest when things aren’t working—don’t ghost or breadcrumb

• Ask yourself: What am I afraid will happen if I’m truly single?

• Learn to complete emotional cycles before starting new ones

Monkey-branching might feel like a safety net—but it’s often a trap. Real security comes from within, not from your next “option.”
