Episode 201: Emotional Sobriety: Detoxing From the Highs and Lows You Got Addicted To

If you’ve ever caught yourself missing someone who made you anxious, small, or constantly on edge… this episode is for you.

Because what you’re feeling is withdrawal, not a personal flaw.

After emotionally unsafe, narcissistic abuse, or abusive relationships, the nervous system gets conditioned to extreme highs and lows. A few good days followed by sudden blowups. Relief after tension. Chaos mistaken for chemistry. And when it ends, your body doesn’t miss the person — it misses the dopamine-driven cycle it learned to survive in.

In this episode, we’re talking about emotional sobriety — what it actually means to detox from intensity, why calm can feel boring or wrong at first, and how your system recalibrates after chaos. We’ll break down why stable relationships don’t feel exciting in the beginning, why your brain edits the past when you’re vulnerable, and how to tell the difference between love and nervous-system addiction.

I’ll also share real, relatable examples from my work with clients and my Radiate & Rise community that show how people stop craving the highs and lows — not by trying harder, but by healing the root cause.

✨ If you’re in that in-between space — missing what hurt you and questioning your decision — you don’t have to white-knuckle this alone.
