As someone who has struggled with a frustrating attraction to dysfunctional relationships since childhood I can tell you behavioral addiction is definitely real. And I am grateful that you mentioned relationships as a form of addiction in part 1. Can’t remember who analyzed the study but it was shown that inconsistent and delayed positive responses from romantic interests triggers a heightened release of dopamine. Our need for love and belonging (maslows hierarchy) + the dopamine floods from unreliable responses = a hell of a powerful addiction. And having never heard you can be addicted to that, it’s difficult to initially recognize it for what it is. Which makes escaping the pattern that much harder. Thank you again for bringing up behavioral addictions as real addictions! 👍🏼
This was amazing. I am literally detoxing from chaos. I grew up in it( physical abuse, raging alcoholic father, mother who tuned out and self medicated) recreated it in my adult life, and couldn’t understand why I always caused the “ drama “ especially when things were going well. I was addicted to the cycle. Adrenaline, NE, cortisol: followed by dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin. I did this for 48 years. Losing my very public job as a flight attendant and working from home after my company closed last year allowed me to stop running from the chaos and address it. I literally am exhausted from not eating, not sleeping, running off of fear and anxiety for the first 48 years of my life. Old habits die hard. I only just want to sleep and heal. I am hoping to adjust soon. I don’t want to leave my home at times because I just want to stay in peace.
Why would you have to leave your home? Are you still living in this chaotic house? I grew up in the exact same environment. I could never bring friends home, got a pit in my stomach when I saw my house, my dad picked on me because I was the oldest and I had to protect my younger sisters from him. He was abusive to my mom and me, but when I saw him getting physical with my mom when I was a teenager, I stepped in and told him to never treat her that way! I didn’t care what he did to me, but not my mom, who was the saving Grace in our house. She had to rebuild her life later in her years and did. She should have been proud of getting into the appraising field and becoming the the first woman president in our area. They’ve both died now, but when o think about this stuff, it’s hurtful. I’ve totally forgiven my dad, and did a long time ago. I actually felt sorry for him. He never told me he loved me… ever. Once in a while, my mom did, but not until later in my life. I struggled in school, but I was the youngest in my grade (born early), and never had anyone to help me do homework nor show me how to get organized. These are skills a child should learn. I taught school and taught the high school kids how to organize their folders, etc. They were grateful! I was like you… not eating nor sleeping. I had anxiety every day SS threw up every morning before I went to my college classes. I’m not like that anymore, but I’m 66. With age, cones wisdom. I wish you well, and remember this will pass. 🙏💫💕
My son has had brain trauma since he was 7 with meningitis, and then other traumas… When he was in Jr high, he started his path of addictions. He’s 35 and is now battling mold toxicity from his father’s house and is staying with me. It’s liking me to see him in a psychotic state. I feel bad that you’re going through this, but I’m proud of you for taking this on and doing something about it! 🙏💕💫
Thanks for the great info. Working on my LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor) and this was very helpful. I've been sober for 16 years, but it took me 10 years after I got sober to uncover my own issues with co-dependency. My behavioral addiction was other people's approval (false self). Once I began to understand this I stared to heal.
I've been through trauma after trauma mentally, physically, emotionally, sexually, cptsd 47 years bow 51 I'm grateful to function lest 6hours a day. Ever since I was 16 on meds then stopping then going back to self meds so if meds are helping me along with mediation. So I'm very blessed to be in a mind at all so I thank God that I am better, but my choice is both mental emotional, physical, psychological,. I am winning far better than what I use to be. My Faith keeps me in check when I just can't go on.(Forgotten Tears) 🙏🔥👑⚘🌷🥀🌹💖
I'm addicted to being brilliant and all the feel good chemicals associated with that. I score goals and win matches every day now without trying. for decades nothing happens then suddenly decades happen. no wonder folk take drugs with all the negative people who have impacted them drugs are the only sane thing. they at least give the benchmark then folk go compared to that, certain family members for example are such languishing negative morons. well here's to positivity, recovery, happiness, success, hard work, patience perseverance, passion, love etc and moderation. and stuff negative people into the recycle bin, those poor unfortunate souls and here's to the ongoing success of you and your channel
I have a SUD (chemical addiction) and I do not believe in abstinence either. I treat it as a behavioral addiction as well. 100% abstinence from a chemical will lead to sublimation or alternative addiction lodging in some other behavior. But it is my opinion.
You know if people weren’t addicted to getting high off other people’s misery and treated each other with decency, instances of trauma that causes addiction would be obsolete. ANSWER: Teach your kids to say please, thank you and share. (The more you know jingle) 💫🌈

I love listening to your videos while I'm at home trying to break my addiction cycles. This video is very helpful to put a relapse plan in place.
Glad it is helpful. Thanks for watching.

Dr. Dawn Elise Snipes is an asset to the universe!
Aww , Ty so much!
Thanks for sharing this Dr. I really need to hear this since I'm struggling with addiction and the cycle of avoiding withdrawal symptoms.
