What it means to be on the other side of obsession

I met someone... and they're just... stable.

Let me tell you something!

So, I’ve been dating. It’s been great. Turns out, Berlin people were really the issue!

But anygayz, that’s not why I’m writing to you.

I think I’ve reached the other side of obsession.

I think we’re on the other side of heatwaves (for now) and I am living again!

I’ve written before that neglect wires us for obsession. That obsession is, at its core, an avoidance strategy. We become consumed by another person because it keeps us from having to sit with ourselves: our own lives, our fears, our loneliness, the quiet tremors that visit us at night. Sometimes what we call chemistry is simply a very effective distraction.

But nobody talks about what happens when obsession no longer works. So let me!

Before I do!

If any of my writing has changed the way you think, imagine what practicing together could change. Join us before September 10 to be part of my first live 28-day course. 💌 On September 10, we begin Becoming Conflict Secure, my first live 28-day course on Substack. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to become a paid subscriber, this is it: this course, originally priced at 57 euros, is FREE for my paid subscribers. Every day for 28 days, we will practice what it means to become conflict secure and see each other live every week for questions and integrations! Come join us!

For 28 days, we’ll practice together. Every day you’ll receive a short video, reflection questions, and a somatic practice to help you build the capacity to stay connected to yourself and others during conflict. We’ll also meet me live every week so you can ask me questions and practice in community.

I want to be clear! This isn’t about becoming better at arguing. It’s about becoming someone whose nervous system no longer experiences conflict as a threat to survival.

If you’ve ever frozen, people-pleased, shut down, over-explained, disappeared, or exploded during conflict, I made this for you.

And the best part? The entire course is included in your paid subscription! There’s nothing extra to buy. Join us as a paid subscriber now and come as you are on September 10, and we’ll begin together!

I can’t wait to practice alongside you!💛

Join me & cuties for our 1st course together!
