Drug happiness. Drug happiness. And here is the backstory that will help me orient you, the listener and the viewer, on why this concept, drug happiness, is so critically important to know.
Ever found yourself stuck in a relationship that feels like an emotional rollercoaster? Ross Rosenberg, a seasoned psychotherapist and renowned expert on narcissistic abuse and codependency, dives into the tricky concept of 'drug happiness' in this eye-opening episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast. Ross explains how individuals with self-love deficit disorder (SLDD) are often drawn into relationships with pathological narcissists, creating a false sense of happiness that he likens to a drug addiction.
This episode unpacks the psychological tricks and manipulations used by narcissists to keep their partners hooked, believing that the initial euphoric 'soulmate' connection can be rekindled. Spoiler: it can't. Ross takes you through the neurobiological processes behind this addiction, shedding light on why it feels so real and why it's so hard to break free.
He also discusses the deep-rooted causes of SLDD, such as attachment trauma and existential emptiness, and offers practical advice on how to recognize the illusion of 'drug happiness' and start the journey towards genuine self-love and recovery. If you've ever questioned the authenticity of your happiness in a relationship or wondered why you keep falling for the same type of person, this episode is a must-listen.
Ross's compassionate yet straightforward approach provides both clarity and hope, making it easier to understand your own experiences and take steps towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
