Addiction is a heavy word, but in this episode of 'Happiness Is An Inside Job', Lynda Emmett takes you on a journey to understand it from a deeply personal perspective. Lynda, a Life and Neuroscience Coach, shares her own battles with addiction, including alcohol, bulimia, and smoking. She doesn't just talk about the symptoms but dives into the roots of these behaviours, exploring how unresolved trauma and deep-seated beliefs can drive us back to harmful habits time and again.
She believes that addiction is often a way to cope with unprocessed emotions and trauma, making life momentarily bearable. Through her own experiences and those of her clients, Lynda paints a vivid picture of how addiction can manifest in various forms - from substance abuse to emotional eating and even Netflix binging. She highlights the importance of shadow work and hypnotherapy in confronting these inner demons.
Her message is clear: it's only by facing our shadows and understanding our triggers that we can begin to heal. Lynda's candid reflections offer hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. She emphasises the need for self-compassion and reaching out for help as crucial steps towards recovery. This episode is a heartfelt call to recognise your worth beyond your addictions and to start the journey towards a more peaceful, fulfilling life.
