The Anxiety of Being Fine

You did everything right. Therapy, boundaries, the work. So why does being fine feel like something's wrong?This episode breaks down hedonic adaptation, the psychology finding that humans recalibrate to a stable baseline no matter how much life improves... and why a nervous system trained on chaos doesn't recognise calm as safety, it recognises it as a threat to investigate. We unpack stress-seeking patterns, hypervigilance after trauma, self-sabotage when things are going well, and why your identity might be quietly addicted to crisis instead of actually wanting it gone.If you've ever manufactured a problem out of nowhere right when life finally settled down - this is the quick episode explaining why.
