“Addictions Appear to be on the Increase and in Intensity”

by Alice Stacionis

The ones easy to label are the physical addictions, i.e. food, alcohol, drugs both legal and illegal. Addictions are not limited to just the physical. The next level up being emotional/behavioral addictions. Addictions make us “feel good”, but as with any addiction, no amount is enough.

Going deeper into reprogramming is simply changing the flow of blood or pathway in the mind to flow in a new direction for a new or wanted behavior.

Now, thinking of that for a moment, let’s go deeper and look at the trigger factor that allows the behavior to occur.

Coping with Pain

“Coping with Pain” by Kelley Woods, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

Living with pain is exhausting and can make a person feel hopeless and isolated, especially when it feels like there are no more options than to just “live with it”.
