When the pain of the problem becomes worse than the pain of the solution, you will change
Ever wondered why some people jump from one relationship to another or stay in toxic ones far too long? This episode of 'Power of the Mind' tackles just that, diving into the complexities of love addiction and love avoidance. Hosts Madi Isenberg and Elicia Morigeau break down how our core beliefs, often formed in childhood, can shape these unhealthy patterns.
Love addiction is characterised by an obsessive need for attention and validation, leading individuals to cling to relationships at all costs. On the flip side, love avoidance involves a deep fear of intimacy, causing people to push others away to protect themselves from vulnerability. The hosts discuss how these behaviours are rooted in feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, which can stem from past traumas or emotionally unavailable caregivers.
They also highlight the importance of recognising these patterns and challenging negative core beliefs to foster healthier relationships. With personal anecdotes and expert insights, this episode offers a compassionate look at how understanding our core beliefs can pave the way for healing and self-acceptance. Whether you're struggling with these issues yourself or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable tools and perspectives to help break the cycle.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that might just change the way you view love and relationships.
