Life Unscripted: Adulting Uncovered Podcast

When Lust Lies To You: The Hidden Science of Sexual Attachment

Season 1 Episode 18

We’ve all been there, that one person you know isn’t right for you, but the physical chemistry is insane. You tell yourself you’re done… and then the next text, the next memory, the next “one last time” pulls you right back in.

In this episode of Life Unscripted: Adulting Uncovered, Brennan breaks down why good sex feels so addictive, and how it tricks your brain, your heart, and your nervous system into chasing something that was never a real connection in the first place.

You’ll learn:
 🔥 The neuroscience of why sex can mimic addiction 
 💭 How emotional trauma can make chaos feel like chemistry
 💔 Why intensity often feels like love
 💡 And how to finally break free from the “just one more time” cycle 

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about self-awareness, emotional healing, and learning to tell the difference between feeling connected and being compatible.

If you’ve ever gone back to someone just because the sex was incredible, this one’s for you.

🎙️ Listen now to learn why you’re not weak, you’re wired, and how to finally rewire for something real.
