Listen "#13: Breaking the Spell of Addiction "
Episode Synopsis
When someone’s in active addiction, it can seem like they’re under a spell. They walk through life in a trance. They act as if they’re possessed.But what if this is a spell? What can we do to break it?Like many of the episodes of The Sober Shaman Podcast, this one is a companion piece to the written post of the same name. I love this arrangement because the podcast gives me a chance to riff on all of the concepts presented in the written post.This lets me go into much greater detail and provide specific examples of what we’re talking about. And for me, this episode’s focus of “Addiction is a Spell” is a rockin’ one that provides another way to view the mechanisms of addiction—as well as ways to break its hold.As always, please hit the little heart, subscribe if you feel called, and leave a comment with your thoughts—it’s always appreciated!With Blessings,RandalYou can find the written post here, and watch the full-length video below: This is a public episode.
