Understanding Addiction: The Secure Attachment Cycle Explained
By replacing your addiction with a person - a good support network - and by identifying what your triggers are, you're now bringing trust and attachment to people around you.
Ever wondered why addiction isn't just a bad habit but a complex coping mechanism? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Recovering Porn Addict', David Adamson dives into the concept of the Secure Attachment Cycle to shed light on this.

He emphasizes the role of a strong support network in overcoming detachment and mistrust. By reaching out to trusted friends and acknowledging past hurts, individuals can start to build healthier relationships and behaviors. The episode also touches on the neurological aspects of addiction, explaining how new behavioral patterns can create positive changes in the brain.
