Flashcards for:
Addiction, Subconscious Mind, and Attachment Theory

The speaker experienced significant improvements in life quality and relationships by addressing her subconscious patterns, leading to overcoming her opioid addiction and enhancing her personal and professional life.

Setting healthy boundaries is crucial for revealing and maintaining one’s true self, ensuring that relationships are built on respect and authenticity, which is essential for transitioning to secure attachment.

Reprogramming negative core beliefs helps to improve self-esteem and self-worth by reducing negative self-talk and fulfilling unmet needs, making an individual less dependent on external validation.

The speaker’s struggle with opioid addiction, despite multiple failed rehab attempts, led her to realize the power of the subconscious mind over conscious efforts. This experience fueled her obsession with understanding and reprogramming the subconscious mind, eventually leading to sobriety and personal development.

Addiction often involves repeating patterns controlled by the subconscious mind. The conscious mind alone cannot overpower the subconscious, making it vital to reprogram core ideas such as self-worth and self-love to address the root causes of addiction.

By identifying and meeting one’s needs, individuals can address underlying emotional deficits that drive addictive behaviors, thereby reducing dependency on substances as coping mechanisms.

Dismissive avoidant attachment stems from childhood emotional neglect. Core wounds include fear of vulnerability, emotional intimacy, and feeling unsafe. Behaviors typically involve emotional withdrawal and a lack of commitment in relationships.

The speaker realized that no matter how hard the conscious mind tries to overcome addiction, the subconscious mind's ingrained patterns prevail until they are understood and reprogrammed, which led to her sobriety and career in personal development.

Techniques for emotional self-regulation include daily meditation and learning to identify and meet one's own needs, which helps in managing emotions effectively.

Fearful avoidant attachment, originating from chaotic and unpredictable childhoods, involves mixed feelings about love, both desiring and fearing it. This leads to hot-and-cold behaviors and intense push-pull dynamics in relationships.

Anxious attachment arises from inconsistent caregiving. Core wounds include fear of abandonment, rejection, and being alone. Behaviors often involve people-pleasing and a lack of boundaries.

Reprogramming involves identifying core fears and beliefs, engaging in practices such as daily affirmations with emotional engagement, and consistently meeting personal needs over an extended period, typically 21 days.
