I would say the mechanism is the same. Something underneath all of those behaviors, when they become addictive for us and we get into that pattern, when you go back you realize wow, I do the behavior because I'm uncomfortable in some way, because I'm in pain in some way, because I'm too excitable, because I'm not good enough, because I'm not feeling connected to my purpose.
Picture this: you've just conquered a major addiction, but now you're worried about falling into another one. Sound familiar?

Tommy dives deep into the concept of behavioral addiction, explaining how our brains can easily switch from one harmful habit to another.

This episode isn't just about dodging new addictions; it's about building a toolkit that helps you stay grounded and connected to your true self. You'll hear Tommy discuss how to identify addiction patterns and use them as stepping stones for personal growth.
