========

Have you ever felt so fed up with an inconsistent partner that it seemed the only way to cope was to go “no contact?”

As a result, you might find yourself wondering…

“Do I keep trying to make this work, or are my efforts only making the problem worse?”

And really wanting to know....

“Is ‘No contact’ the only way to get my message across, or is it just what I have to do to finally let go and move on?”

Welp. You are not alone in this.

Straight to the point: I think the answer to this question is always context dependent.

Individuals who labor over this question are more often than not anxiously attached individuals (whom I call Open Hearts) that experience intense “attachment hunger,” which is similar to what is commonly referred to as “love addiction” or “codependency.”
This is when you feel a deep and intensive yearning for partnership, and experience low self esteem and self-doubt when not in a relationship.

In my own experience, determining if “no contact” will be of service or disservice to your relationship, requires understanding ‘love addiction’ or ‘codependency’ as fueled by attachment triggers, which are deeply embodied, and lead to the same consequences as ingestive drug use!

If you can relate to this, this 10-minute video is for you.

In this video, I touch upon…

The physiological impact of attachment triggers
What to expect when you go “no contact” and how to sustain your own boundaries, when you feel tempted to violate them
Using the Transtheoretical Model For Change to conceptualize the stages of change when struggling with love addiction/codependency/attachment hunger
