We all have habits we wish we could change - patterns we repeat even when we know they’re hurting us. So why is it so hard to stop? In this episode, we explore the psychology behind toxic habits. How they form, why they become automatic, and what they’re actually doing for us emotionally.
We explore:
• How habits become wired through repetition and reward
• Why some people are more vulnerable to toxic habit loops
• The role of emotional regulation and self-soothing
• The four key mistakes that keep us stuck
• Practical tools to implement positive habits
If you’ve ever thought, ‘I know better… so why don’t I do better?’, this episode is for you.
