103: Exploring Emotional Addiction (and 6 ways to begin healing from it)
Have you ever wondered, why do I feel the way I do? Why am I always so tired, so angry, so resentful? Why do I feel guilty about everything? Why can’t I just be more confident and have better self-esteem? Why are my relationships so toxic? Why do I struggle to get anything done? Why do I never just feel good enough?
Codependency is based in and LOVES fear. Along with that fear comes a lack of self love. The feelings that come along with codependency can become addictive-YES we actually can become addicted to feeling the constant states of overwhelm, resentment, anxiety and lack. Our cells literally get used to feeling this lack of self love.
When we feel this emotion, there’s a cellular change in the body. Neurotransmitters are released and the physiology of the body shifts. As our physiology shifts, the neural pathways in the brain fire and wire in response. Feeling and reacting habitually strengthens neural pathways which will make us subconsciously seek the same emotion. So our body becomes dependent on our own chemical responses. Yes even if the emotion makes us miserable, the rush of neurotransmitters are a reward.
In this episode I dive deep into bridging the gap between codependency and emotional addiction and provide 6 ways to help you feel from the same old miserable emotions that keep you stuck with the same old results.
