Do you feel physically pulled back into relationships you know aren’t healthy, even when you’re committed to healing? In today’s powerful episode, I guide Sarah—a member of the Codependency Alchemy community—through shadow work and inner child healing to uncover why her nervous system feels addicted to chaotic relationships. We explore the hidden reasons behind why we chase unhealthy connections, what happens when our nervous system mistakes chaos for safety, and how dopamine addiction keeps us stuck.
Sarah bravely reconnects with her younger self, healing deep childhood wounds and reclaiming her power. Listen in to learn practical tools to support your nervous system and break free from patterns that no longer serve you.
This episode is for you if:
You struggle to let go of relationships that you logically know aren't healthy.
Your nervous system craves chaos or emotional unavailability.
You experience physical anxiety or panic when relationships end.
You want guidance on healing relationship-related nervous system triggers.
Realizing my body craved chaos because that’s all it knew from childhood helped me stop shaming myself and start caring for my nervous system differently. Your nervous system isn't choosing what's best for you; it's choosing what's familiar—even if what's familiar is chaos or pain. Healing happens when we teach it new ways to feel safe, and that starts with compassion, not judgment or shame.
Think about how you talk to yourself when these patterns come up, whose voice is that? Oftentimes we talk to ourselves the way we were spoken to as children. It’s a radical act to say, “this stops with me” and give yourself what you needed as a child. You deserve it, babe.
