The Love That Undoes You So You Can Be Reborn

If you’re awake at 3 a.m., checking your phone even though you know they won’t text back, you're going through withdrawal. This video breaks down the psychology of why you got addicted to someone who gave you crumbs, why stable love felt “boring,” and why you stayed long after your body knew it was over. We’ll talk about the shadow attraction (why you wanted what you’re “not allowed” to be), the martyr mindset (why suffering felt like love), and the turning point that changes everything: sovereignty - standards instead of chasing. If you’ve ever asked, “Why did I tolerate that?” this is the answer.
