This episode is the first of a mini series I have created on addiction. It offers a deep and compassionate exploration of addiction, its roots, and the interconnection with codependency. The discussion highlights various forms of addiction, the impact of trauma, denial, and the importance of self-reflection and support in the recovery process. 

• Exploring the complexities of addiction and codependency 
• Addiction manifests in both substance and behavioral forms 
• Trauma as a significant contributing factor to addiction 
• The emotional toll and isolation caused by addiction 
• Recognizing denial in addiction, both personally and among loved ones

• Highlighting the journey of recovery as a multi-faceted process 
• Encouraging listeners to seek support and engage with their healing journey
