Time to examine our REALITY FILTER

In this powerful episode of Facing the Mirror, trauma survivor and shadow work expert Christina dismantles the myths about love addiction, codependency, and people-pleasing—and reveals the one relationship that shapes them all: the one you have with yourself.

This isn’t about bubble baths and crystals—it’s about dismantling trauma conditioning, rewriting your core beliefs, and breaking free from the cycles of self-abandonment that keep you chasing love that hurts. Christina shares raw truths, reflective questions, and five practical steps to start healing, from nervous system regulation to mirror work.

If you’ve ever found yourself attracting emotionally unavailable partners, staying in relationships that drain you, or feeling addicted to validation, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop chasing, start re-parenting, and finally choose you.

In this eye-opening episode, Christina breaks down the gritty connection between shadow work and addictive behaviors — and why we can’t fully heal our addictions until we meet the parts of ourselves we’ve buried.

Addictions don’t just “happen.”
They are created and fueled by the unmet needs, unprocessed grief, and disowned parts of us that live in the shadow. Whether it’s love addiction, substance use, emotional over-dependence, or coping mechanisms that slowly destroy us — at the core is a part of us begging to be seen.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why we become addicted to the feeling rather than the person or substance

• How suppressed emotions and unmet childhood needs form the root of addictive behavior

• What shadow work actually looks like in the context of addiction

• The difference between symptom management and soul-level healing

• Self-reflection prompts to uncover the part of you that’s driving the addictive cycle

• Real examples, mic-drop truths, and Christina’s signature “loving but no-BS” guidance

✨ If you’re ready to stop judging yourself for your addictions — and start understanding the truth behind them — this episode will shift everything.

Listen now and begin meeting the parts of you that are asking for love (not punishment).
