Summary
Working on bringing awareness to compulsive behaviors means being able to enjoy these activities mindfully, without the end goal of numbing.

Stay tuned because next week, I'll be teaching you how to start changing these habits if you want to.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfucked your brain, the only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your host, Harvard Law School Grad, Feminist Rockstar, and Master Coach, Kara Loyenthyle. In this episode I am teaching about behaviors that we use to numb out and that can |
| 0:37.7 | feel compulsive to us. I am not talking about compulsive behaviors in a clinical sense. If you have clinically |
