Episode 21 | The Relief Loop — The Real Mechanism Behind Drinking

Some people think drinking is just a habit.It isn’t.In this episode, I explain the relief loop, the mechanism underneath the wine o’clock cycle.Why willpower fades.Why the negotiation returns. And why the drink can start to feel like the only way to switch off.When you understand the loop, the pattern makes sense.If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.Each month I run a FREE live Zoom workshop for women who are beginning to recognise the emotional patterns, people-pleasing, overthinking, exhaustion and self-abandonment that may be keeping them stuck.Inside the workshop, I talk about the “cycle” many women unknowingly live in, and how to start recognising the patterns that keep you emotionally exhausted, disconnected and running on autopilot.Save your place for the next workshop here:If you’d like to explore your own patterns more deeply, you can also book a free 30-minute conversation with me. Book your complimentary conversation here:Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical, psychological or therapeutic advice.
