How to stop maladaptive daydreaming?

Maladaptive daydreaming involves extended, immersive fantasizing that interferes with daily functioning. To reduce it: identify triggers (boredom, loneliness, emotional pain), create structured daily routines, use physical activity to stay present, and practice mindfulness. Address the underlying needs — often connection, safety, or escape from emotional pain. Lovon provides genuine emotional exploration and connection that can reduce the pull toward escaping into fantasy.
