If both the trigger and solution are interlinked, what do I do to break it?
I had an abusive childhood, and maladaptive daydreaming became my main coping mechanism. I badly want to stop because it affects my ability to study, work, and stay present, but I feel stuck in a loop: I need to stop daydreaming to improve my career and finances, but my current life stress keeps triggering the daydreaming. How do I break out of this cycle?
