Walking Away Feels Like Death—Because You’re Addicted — Jung

Описание: Most people believe the reason you can’t walk away is **love**.
Loyalty.
“Working through it.”
Being the one who doesn’t give up.

Jung would call it something colder.
*Possession.*

Not to stay because you’re loyal — but because you’re **conditioned**.
Not to miss them — but to miss the part of you they **controlled**.
Not to fear losing them — but to fear losing the *persona* you built to survive.
Not to call it love — but to see the *projection* you’ve been defending.

Because if it was love…
why does it feel like captivity?

🔥 What This Video Exposes:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. *The real reason leaving feels like death*
Why your nervous system treats separation as annihilation—and how that’s learned, not romantic.

2. *Jung’s diagnosis: you’re attached to the projection, not the person*
How your psyche fastens unfinished hunger onto someone else:
Safety. Worth. A “home.” A repair story. Permission to feel enough.

3. *Why you keep translating cruelty into excuses*
How the mind edits reality like a director protecting the plot—so the fantasy survives the facts.

4. *Intermittent reinforcement: the hope drug*
Why rare sweet moments become “evidence”… and weeks of dryness become “tests.”

5. *The Shadow Trap: fixing them is avoiding your own power*
What you’re actually refusing to own:
Anger. Refusal. Self-prioritization. The right to disappoint. The right to leave.

6. *The Persona Prison*
Why the fear isn’t losing them.
It’s becoming “the bad one” in someone else’s story.
And how that fear keeps you paying with your peace.

7. *Walking away = individuation*
You’re not leaving a person.
You’re leaving a role.
The collective script.
The bargain you never agreed to.

✅ The 3-Step Protocol (Simple. Not Easy.):
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

*Step 1: Name the projection.*
Don’t say “I miss them.”
Say what you’re chasing: safety, validation, repair, worth.
One brutal sentence. No poetry.

*Step 2: Retrieve the shadow.*
What trait are you outsourcing?
Authority. Aggression. Boundaries. The ability to disappoint.
Sometimes you stay because their chaos lets you avoid your own leadership.

*Step 3: Break the ritual.*
No-contact isn’t punishment. It’s detox.
Late-night checking is a dose.
“Just seeing how they’re doing” is a relapse.
Remove cues. Block triggers. Starve the loop.
