'We are all addicted to some form of over consumption'.

A powerful discussion with Dr Lembke exploring the multifaceted nature of addiction and the role of dopamine, our motivation/seeking chemical.

Our understanding of addiction is growing by the day and with that I hope, so is our compassion towards those whose lives have been dramatically impacted by it. Moving away from 'what's wrong with you' and towards 'what happened to you' as so eloquently coined by Dr Gabor Mate

How you embark, process and ultimately mature on whatever path you have chosen, is an entirely unique experience to you.

There are guideposts that show how it could look and what it looks like for others but that is all they are, guideposts.

Whenever my clients come to me feeling despondent and like they are lacking 'progress', it is often because they are looking at their experience through the lens of what they thought it would look like; which is based on what they've observed in others or what they've been told (usually by social media)

Often, it is a process of looking inwards, looking at what is there, rather than what we think should be there, that allows us to see things from a different perspective.

Once you can really see the uniqueness in your journey and shed whatever preconceptions you may have, which often keep us stuck in looking at things from one perspective; you can begin to acknowledge the often subtle changes that have occurred.

'When we feel stuck it is often because we have tied ourselves in knots getting stuck in the rhythms decided by others'.

This feels so true, especially for those of us prone to people pleasing. It can be easy to do, say and feel in ways that is expected and/or accepted by others but it often leads to some kind of suffering.

Spending a little time each day, tuning into yourself and asking the questions 'What do I need right now' can get you attuned to your own rhythm and begin the journey of you starting to dance to the beat of your own tune 🎼🤸‍♂️
