#89 Drew Wild - Addiction, Trauma and Codependency coach

Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

Drew Wild’s mission is to change the way this planet looks at and approaches addiction through the lens of trauma. And to tear down any stigma associated with the word addiction.

In his humble opinion “addiction” or distraction is everywhere.

People are choosing to numb out or distract themselves more than ever before in this plugged-in society.

Be it alcohol, drugs, porn, social media, dating apps, Netflix, food and overeating, overworking or people pleasing, you name it, humans are overindulging to avoid actually feeling and processing their emotions and it’s manifesting in the form of DIS-ease.

Drew believes that, quite simply, the vice eg drugs or social media, or food is just a symptom of a deeper-rooted problem. It’s just the coping mechanism people have found works to suppress the hurt and pain of the past. And it works really well, until it doesn’t.

When we can stop looking through the lens of “why the addiction?” And start looking at it from “why the pain?” Or why the need to numb, we begin to find a more permanent solution to a very real global problem.
