Just because it's normal doesn't mean it's healthy.
Ever wonder why you keep getting stuck in cycles of anger, guilt, or sadness? In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the often-overlooked issue of our biochemical addiction to negative emotions. Dr. Vitz explains that when she talks about pain in emotional sobriety training, she means those familiar feelings of resentment, anger, guilt, embarrassment, fear, and sadness.
These emotions are not just fleeting moments but are deeply tied to the trauma we experienced as children. And here's the kicker—our culture and society often normalize these unhealthy emotional habits. We end up using negativity as a way to communicate and feel connected to others, but just because it's common doesn't mean it's healthy. Dr. Vitz and Jon challenge you to take a hard look at your own emotional habits.
Are you clinging to negativity because it's what you know? They discuss the dangers of normalizing these unhealthy patterns and emphasize the importance of identifying and addressing the root causes of our pain. By doing so, we can break free from our biochemical addiction and cultivate healthier emotional responses. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction to negative emotions.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of your emotional landscape and take steps toward breaking the cycle of pain.
