Addiction is not the problem, it's the result of not knowing how to access a safe place within – and a lot of that has to do with regulating your emotions.
Ever feel like you're constantly battling inner turmoil? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with wellness coach Edwige Gilbert Blade, who sheds light on the root causes of addiction and the crucial role of emotional regulation. Edwige, founder of New Life Directions and author of 'The Fresh Start Promise: 28 Days to Total Mind, Body, Spirit Transformation', brings over 30 years of experience in guiding individuals toward healthier, happier lives.
She believes that addiction isn't the problem itself but a symptom of not knowing how to access a safe, peaceful place within. This episode is packed with practical tools and techniques for emotional regulation, such as daily affirmations, visualization, and even cold showers. Edwige emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and discipline in forming new habits, suggesting that these practices can help fill the void that often leads to addiction.
By focusing on manifesting a vision of what you want to achieve, rather than just the addiction itself, you can create a roadmap for a life free from harmful substances or behaviors. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Edwige's insights offer a hopeful and actionable path toward inner peace and recovery.
