When Fantasy Becomes a Trap: Breaking Free from Maladaptive Daydreaming

Erika Season 1 Episode 74

What I thought was peace…
 Was actually maladaptive daydreaming. 

For years, I escaped into my imagination thinking it was comfort, safety, and even “healing.” But what felt peaceful wasn’t peace at all — it was emotional escape, spiritual distraction, and mental captivity. In this episode, I’m opening up about how maladaptive daydreaming affected my relationships, faith, mental health, confidence, purpose, and identity… and how the Holy Spirit gently revealed the truth and walked me out of it layer by layer. 

If you’ve ever found yourself:
 • constantly fantasizing about “a better life”
 • living more in your head than in reality
 • imagining relationships, reconciliation, or success that never actually happens
 • attaching emotionally to daydreams
 • or using fantasy as your safe space… 

This conversation is for you. 

We’re talking healing, presence, faith, emotional honesty, and the difference between false peace and true peace. And I truly believe God is going to use this to free someone. 

Stay to the end — we pray, we break chains, and I challenge you to a 7-Day Mental Fast to reclaim your mind, presence, and peace. 

If this connects with you… comment “PRESENT.”
 You are not alone. Freedom is possible.
