Breaking Free from Maladaptive Daydreaming

Breaking Free from Maladaptive Daydreaming is a compassionate, practical guide for anyone who feels trapped in their inner world. Rather than pathologizing imagination, this book helps readers understand why maladaptive daydreaming develops, what keeps it going, and how to gently reclaim their time, focus, and emotional life. Through self-awareness, grounding techniques, and real-world rebuilding, readers learn how to meet their needs without escaping reality—so they can live fully, present, and free.
