Ever wonder why numbing out, whether with substances, scrolling, or people-pleasing, feels like the only way to survive? In this episode, I share how my own addiction began with a need for relief, not rebellion, and why so many of us learn to escape instead of cope. If you’re healing from betrayal trauma, addiction, or emotional overwhelm, this one’s for you.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,
Laura
