Gigi and I touch on so many areas of potential for dysfunction and addiction, as well as the ways we can be free of our past wreckage.  

People need guidance in many areas of life not just limited to addiction; moving through worry, anxiety, perfectionism, workaholism, dysfunctional relationships, etc. Our pace of healing is not always orchestrated by us. Heal the blockages, heal the trauma.  Left to our own devices rarely works. We need some type of help and assistance.

How family can barrel over us emotionally and mentally. We desire to be loved and we try everything in our power to achieve that. How we can believe we “know best” when we’re surrounded by all of the evidence we could possibly need, to understand that we don’t.

12 step recovery. Attraction vs promotion. Gigi is surrounded by women who support, knowing they’ll always be there for her. A beautiful thing. 

Relationships are the toughest part of recovery. Gotta find the patterns and coping strategies we’ve used. People pleasing, workaholism, martyrdom, etc. Our mechanisms for dealing with relationships. 

There’s freedom in knowing we can have a lot of input on what goes on in between our ears. 

Alanon, AA, Adult Children of Alcoholics can all be very helpful in emotional healing.

Special offer available until September 14, 2024!
