Acerca de esta escucha
It may be difficult to consider that something as ordinary as a daydream could lead to something serious like addiction. However, the powerful subconscious mind can often work against us. The pressures of reality can be overwhelming, and sometimes traumatic experiences anchor our emotions in the past. Negative situations, toxic people, and setbacks in life impact our mental health, emotional resilience, and overall wellness.
Maladaptive daydreaming, also known as excessive daydreaming, is a condition where people have intense, elaborate daydreams that can go on for extended periods of time. A maladaptive daydreamer can be so immersed in their imaginary world that it becomes extremely challenging for them to function in the real world. Their daydreaming might be so distracting that they stop engaging with the people around them and struggle to fulfill their responsibilities.
Escapism often manifests itself in these situations because it’s all about escaping reality. An addict may find life too stressful, uncomfortable, and barely manageable. They withdraw into an alternate world filled with bliss and oblivion.
As the author mentions: “So many of us constantly seek refuge in the safety of our daydreams while presenting another version of ourselves to the outside world. I always knew that I daydreamed incessantly. It wasn’t until I researched this book that I made the connection to maladaptive daydreaming and subsequently the realm of escapism. My goal is to bring more awareness to this often-neglected topic.”
You may feel that you no longer want to spend some of the best moments of your life in a fantasy. Maladaptive Daydreaming Is My Addiction will help you better understand excessive daydreaming and escapism, while providing tools to improve your quality of life. Your time is valuable and some of us have shorter attention spans than others. That’s why the content has been optimized to save you time while delivering the concise information you need. You will find easy-to-comprehend facts, inspiring stories, and techniques to help guide you. Instead of just hoping for a better existence in your mind, you will learn ways to shape your reality.

In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares their personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain.

If you suffer from unwanted, intrusive, frightening, or even disturbing thoughts, you might worry about what these thoughts mean about you. Thoughts can seem like messages - are they trying to tell you something? But the truth is that they are just thoughts, and don’t necessarily mean anything. Sane and good people have them. If you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you don’t want - thoughts that scare you, or thoughts you can’t tell anyone about - this book may change your life.

What you need to grasp is that your anxiety and obsessive thoughts are not a reflection of your relationship or your partner, but rather a result of your own internal struggles. The good news is, there is one method—backed by research studies and recommended by experts–to help deal with a range of problems including relationship problems and anxiety. It’s called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of psychological treatment that effectively and significantly improves functioning and quality of life.

Anger, fear, frustrations, and all other emotions are part of the human experience. They can make you happy, or they can lead to stress. However, these emotions can be healthy when you experience them as well because they give you lessons to live better. Negative thinking is designed to make people feel uncomfortable. It creates stress in your body and mind, which is not only distressing but can also lead to health issues that can be chronic. No one wants to feel the stress that comes with negative thoughts, so it is better to escape from them.

Title is misleading
This is not a memoir from a daydreamer. It sounds more like someone’s honors thesis in psychology. There were a lot of lists of ailments from the DSM and the same old pat advice to wake up and deal with your life and feelings. It’s not that it is bad advice, but it could have covered anything. This book is very general and not particularly sympathetic.
