In this episode, Dr. Harry Henshaw challenges the traditional disease model of addiction and offers a powerful new paradigm: Transformation. Instead of viewing addiction as a lifelong brain disorder or the inevitable result of drugs and alcohol, this approach reveals the true root cause—negative self-image, poor self-esteem, and destructive thought patterns.Listeners will learn:Why drugs and alcohol are not inherently addictiveHow addictive behavior is really about avoiding pain, not chasing pleasureThe powerful role self-esteem and self-image play in recoveryWhy addiction is not a disease, but a psychological and cognitive disorderHow responsibility and choice empower lasting transformationThe promise of healing through self-love, positive thought, and authentic self-acceptanceThis episode introduces the Hypothesis of Transformation—a groundbreaking perspective that addiction is not an external condition but an internal struggle that can be healed by changing how we think about ourselves.If you or someone you love has struggled with addiction, these insights will inspire hope and point to a real solution: a life free from dependency, built on self-worth, responsibility, and transformation.
