Why addiction is so relevant nowadays? According to Canadian Mental Health Association, it is estimated that approximately 21% of the population (about 6 million people) will meet the criteria for addiction in their lifetime. We often refer to addiction as addiction to drugs and alcohol, but the spectrum of alcohol is way larger than this, we are talking about sex, food, porn, work, video games, gambling, shopping, social media, and so much more, and to different extents. Consequently, it impacts way more people than we think and that’s why this subject is so relevant for many of us.

In this episode, we talk about…

• Addiction as the symptom to a bigger underlying lack of self-love; due to trauma that occurred in the past
• How trauma in childhood impact our habits later on
• How to self-soothe: positive self talk vs using terms like should referring to shame
