About this episode

This episode provides tips on coping with breakups, especially for those dealing with love addiction and trauma bonding.

Breakups are painful. But when you struggle with love addiction, trauma bonding, or unresolved childhood wounds, breakups can feel devastating, consuming, and nearly impossible to move through. In this episode, I break down how to navigate heartbreak when your nervous system is deeply activated and your attachment patterns are involved. This conversation is about compassion and not criticism. Awareness and not shame. And breaking generational patterns, not repeating them. If you relate to symptoms of love addiction, love avoidance, or love deprivation, download our free roadmap.
