The lack of connection, I would argue, is one of the most painful emotional and psychological experiences a person can have. But ultimately, the point is that if you don't want to be in pain, just cutting off your emotions and disconnecting from yourself is a great way to avoid it.
Ever pondered why some people turn to substances when life's pressures mount? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein takes a deep dive into the heart of addiction, shedding light on how childhood trauma and unmet emotional needs can set the stage for substance abuse. Yitz doesn't just stop at the 'why'; he offers a compassionate look at the 'how'—how we can begin to heal these deep-seated wounds.
He explains that addiction often stems from a desperate attempt to soothe emotional pain and fill a void left by past traumas. But here's the kicker: the opposite of addiction isn't just sobriety; it's human connection. Building a strong sense of self and fostering meaningful relationships can be pivotal in breaking free from addictive behaviors.
Yitz shares practical advice on reconnecting with oneself, such as feeling and listening to your pain, understanding your emotional wounds, and tapping into your higher self. He emphasizes that by nurturing our inner selves, we can form healthier connections with others, leading to more fulfilling lives. Whether you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps towards recovery.
Tune in to discover how understanding the root causes of addiction can pave the way for genuine healing and self-connection.
