The Cure for Addiction

Whatever the addiction, it has a similar root - pain. 

And, the way through addiction, to the other side of recovery, is similar for all addictions. 

Leah talks about emotional addiction, physical addiction, and substance addiction and more. The behavior that's driving addiction is coming from a place of trauma, pain, and repressed emotion.

Addiction is a symptom, a protective mechanism, against the pain that creates addictive behavior.

Leah speaks about the conversation between Andrew Huberman and Terry Real about the cure of addiction: connection and intimacy.

When we are disconnected, we feel isolation, loneliness, and separation which fuels the need to hide, quiet yourself, and seek alternate states or behaviors that fill a void. 

What is intimacy? What is connection? Listen and find out!
