Summary
Addictions are subtle, insidious monsters, and they can take roost inside all of us. We're not just talking about the addictions we see in movies or television. We're not just talking about the addictions we sleight, either. We're talking about our broad human inability to deal with pain, and how that pain manifests in our lives in destructive ways.
This week on the show, Michelle leads us through the high level story of addiction and shares techniques for spotting addictive behavior, and uncovering the pain that sits beneath the surface. It's a terrific conversation that sets the stage for more addiction in coming episodes, so tune in this week!
