jealousy, drama addiction, and control issues in relationships (ft. zaz)

back from the borderline - Un pódcast de mollie adler

In this episode, my partner Zaz and I open up about the challenges of building a loving relationship with someone navigating emotion dysregulation and the aftereffects of childhood trauma. Together, we explore how patterns like an “addiction to drama” and chronic boredom can drive self-sabotaging behaviors that put strain on even the strongest partnerships. We’ll discuss the delicate balance of transparency in relationships—how to approach tough conversations with your partner and whether disclosing a diagnosis is helpful or necessary. We also tackle the challenges of being the “clingy” partner, offering insights on how to shift from insecurity to a place of confidence and self-assurance. From handling extreme jealousy to addressing the need for control, this episode dives deep into the complexities of intimate relationships marked by trauma and emotion dysregulation. Join us as we share practical tools and perspectives for cultivating a relationship grounded in trust, understanding, and mutual growth.Craving more? Become a Premium Submarine.
