Your Love Language is Avoidance Part 1
Manage episode 502356761 series 3683766
Ever catch yourself doom-scrolling until 3AM after a breakup? Or suddenly becoming a workaholic when your heart gets broken? You're not alone.
Steph and Shellbz pull back the curtain on the coping mechanisms we develop after relationships end – those unhealthy healing habits we don't even recognize until we're in a better place. From self-isolation to overworking to what they bluntly call "becoming a whore," the hosts share their personal experiences with disarming honesty and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
"If I don't know what you went through and the things that bother you and trigger you, I can't fix the things that I'm doing that are upsetting you," Shellbz explains, highlighting why talking about past relationships with current partners is so crucial, even when it's uncomfortable.
The conversation weaves through anxiety medications, finding partners who create safe spaces for vulnerability, and the freedom that comes from acknowledging both the good and bad from previous relationships. You'll find yourself nodding along as they describe the subtle ways we avoid processing emotional pain and how communication becomes the ultimate antidote.
Whether you're healing from heartbreak or building a healthier relationship now, this episode offers both comfort and clarity. Because sometimes the most unhealthy thing we do is pretend we're taking time for ourselves when we're actually running from our feelings.
