Enough Is Never Enough | When Love Becomes Addiction with Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards

What if the relationship wasn't the addiction... but the chaos it created?

Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards returns to Dare to Be Us to discuss his newest book, The Venus Fly Trap 2: Enough Is Never Enough, and the deeper lessons hidden beneath the drama.

Together, we explore the difference between love and trauma bonds, why our nervous systems can become addicted to chaos, and how childhood wounds silently shape the relationships we choose. We also dive into accountability, empathy, boundaries, the myth of "saving" someone, and why material success alone can never fill an internal void.

This isn't just a conversation about one relationship, it's about understanding ourselves, breaking unhealthy patterns, and learning that healing begins when we stop asking "Why is this happening to me?" and start asking "What is this teaching me?"

In this episode:

• Love vs. trauma bonds
• When empathy becomes self-abandonment
• The psychology behind toxic relationships
• Addiction to chaos and nervous system patterns
• Boundaries without losing compassion
• Why "enough" is never enough when healing comes from the outside
• Redefining wealth, success, and fulfillment
