If you've lost the power of choice, that's an addiction.
Ever wondered why saying no feels like climbing Everest? In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero explore the fascinating concept of emotional addiction. Dr. Vitz sheds light on how seemingly innocent habits, like your daily coffee or a compulsive need for validation, can spiral into full-blown addictions. But it's not just about substances. We're diving into the emotional trenches where beliefs and motives can trap you in cycles of dependency.
Imagine being addicted to emotions like fear or sadness, or to relationships that leave you drained. The episode is a candid exploration of how these patterns manifest and why they’re so hard to break. Dr. Vitz challenges you to look objectively at your life and identify where you've lost the power of choice. Are there people in your life who seem to have a remote control for your emotions?
If you find yourself caught in a loop of despair, feeling powerless against someone's influence, this episode offers a fresh perspective. The hosts discuss how recognising these patterns is the first step towards reclaiming your emotional autonomy. The conversation takes a turn towards relationships, highlighting how emotional sobriety can transform your interactions. Dr. Vitz encourages listeners to confront these addictive cycles head-on, not with shame or guilt, but with an understanding that change is possible.
You might find yourself nodding along as they dissect scenarios that hit close to home, offering both empathy and solutions. So, if you're ready to take charge of your emotional landscape and break free from addictive behaviours, this episode is your guide. Dive into this engaging discussion and discover how you can redefine your relationships and habits for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
