Why You're Addicted to Toxic Love — Emotional Rewiring, Ep 4
You’re not chasing them—you’re chasing the chemical spike.
You say you want peace… but your body’s craving chaos.

That’s not romance.
That’s a chemical loop—and your nervous system is stuck in it.

Key Takeaways
You're not addicted to them. You're addicted to the emotional spike.
If love growing up was inconsistent, your body equates tension with connection.
Dopamine, cortisol, adrenaline, oxytocin—your emotional highs are being hijacked.
Real love doesn’t feel like a drug. It feels like calm.
Real Talk: Chaos ≠ Chemistry
If you flinch when someone texts back too soon,
feel bored when things are calm,
or crave someone more after they hurt you…
That’s not because you’re broken.
It’s because your nervous system got wired to equate pain with passion.
And the worst part?
You’ll start to think the person who brings peace is missing something.
They’re not.
You’re just not used to it.
