SGR 042: Are You An Emotional Intensity Addict?
You know those couples who seemingly love to fight?
They’re always in conflict and it’s always BIG. There are BIG arguments, BIG emotions, and BIG reactions.
You never know what to expect.
Maybe it’s not “those couples” for you. Maybe it’s you. Or your partner.
Do you ever feel pulled by an invisible force into saying or doing something when you’re angry in hopes that your partner will react in a BIG way?
Does being yelled at feel better than being ignored?
Does it take a grand gesture - expensive gift, vacation, Public Displays of Affection - to feel fully loved by your partner?
If so, you may be an emotional intensity addict.
In this week’s episode, we’re addressing the often overlooked, misunderstood experience of emotional intensity addiction. We’re reviewing the physiology behind this addiction, what to be on the lookout for, and how to retrain your brain to seek out healthier stimulating experiences and ways of connecting with your partner.
