In today’s expert episode, I’m talking with Dr. Adi Jaffe, a nationally recognized expert on transformation and author of the book Unhooked. We dive deep into the connection between addiction and heartbreak, and how compulsive behaviors, whether they involve substances or patterns in love, keep us stuck after a breakup. Dr. Jaffe shares his personal story of overcoming addiction, explains concepts like the sphere of influence and fixed versus growth mindset, and offers practical tips for shifting your mindset and changing the behaviors that keep you feeling stuck. We also discuss common struggles after a breakup, like obsessing over things outside of our control and getting trapped in shame cycles, and how to use frameworks like SPARROW and self-compassion to move forward in healing.
