I want you to picture progress not as a straight line, but as a winding path full of twists, turns, and a few stumbling blocks. It's not about the end goal but about self-discovery and self-development. This podcast episode delves into the perception of progress and the prevalence of addiction in our society. It is a journey where we challenge the stereotypes, demystifying the addiction loop and how it can hinder personal growth.

We are going to take an illuminating exploration into the realms of trauma and ego formation. How our past, particularly our childhood experiences, can shape our present and future. I am thrilled to have members of the Complete Control Community with us, brave individuals who are ready to share their experiences and insights into how they've navigated this labyrinth.

This episode is not just about understanding ourselves but also about dealing with the external factors that can impact our lives. We'll dissect the science behind compulsive behaviour, the importance of managing stress, and the role of relationships in our lives. We'll also discuss practical ways to improve our mental health, such as the impacts of alcohol and caffeine, healthy changes in our daily habits, and positive adjustments in our environment. Join us as we journey through the complexities of human behaviour, mental health and, most importantly, the continuous journey towards self-improvement.
