32 - [Inside Out] - The Unconscious Emotional Addiction
How can I make this feeling go away?
Since most of us haven’t been taught how to
deal with our emotions, we find ways to distract ourselves from the uncomfortable
feelings and emotions.
We do all kinds of things like accumulating
new things, and when that wears off and stop working, we look for bigger things
and our avoidance strategy becomes an emotional addiction.
What we own, ends up owning us.
We rely on the external to fix the internal.
Until the pain goes away, we will keep looking for that “thing” and when we
find that “thing” we need more and more.
Often all of this happens subconsciously, and an emotion or a group
of emotions are actually driving our behaviors.
We become emotionally addicted, because the feelings and emotions
are safe because they are familiar, and the uncomfortable feelings are unfamiliar.
Tune in, if you feel called.
Sending you so much love
