In this candid episode, I openly discusses the shame and guilt often associated with compulsions and addictions. I shift the perspective by suggesting that rather than solely focusing on the sin or the addictive behaviour, what's more important is understanding the root, where it's coming from, and the inner self that is calling for help, love, and healing.
Drawing from faith, spirituality, psychology, and neuroscience, I offer what has been for me transformative insights into compulsions and addictions which has taught me compassion and understanding my own journey towards wholeness.
