In this week's episode of the Needy No More podcast, I dive deep into the final two steps of the cycle of anxious attachment, stress and addiction, answering the following questions:

  • What is stress and how does it relate to addiction?
  • What is love addiction?
  • How does stress factor into the experience of anxious attachment?
  • How does stress relate to safety and why is that important?
  • What is cortisol and what are some ways you can reduce your cortisol levels and lower stress?
  • How does cortisol relate to adrenaline?
  • How can you interrupt the cycle of addiction?
