0:00 25:20

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?
