Summary
Why do we intentionally look for things we know will hurt us? If you find yourself constantly typing your toxic ex's name into a search bar to check up on their new life, you are engaging in "pain shopping."In this video, I break down the behavioral psychology behind why survivors spy on their abusers online. We discuss the reality behind their curated posts, why your brain craves the negative emotional spike, and how checking their profiles completely stalls your healing journey. Stop letting their digital billboard control your peace of mind.
