Eric Connor talks about What Drives Addiction Part 1. He has worked with a lot of addictions, and saw how people use certain behaviors to escape or medicate. They know that it works and that it makes them feel better. Tune in and learn what it means, what creates desire, and how you can handle that type of attachment.
The Root of AddictionAddictions are more than a bad habit. They are about relationships. The cravings and compulsions are almost like emotional responses to the different situations you deal with in relationships.
"Addictions are much more than a kind of behavior or substance." - Eric Connor
Often you may find a lot of resistance to those responses. Nonetheless, it is good to understand that there is always a reason behind them.
Things that People Can Be Addicted ToPeople can be addicted to everything. There are addictions that cannot be controlled and there are those that are just easy to deal with.
"New things are coming out about what people can be hooked on or dependent on." - Eric Connor
As the years progress, everyone has more access to different things. There is a whole range of addictions, including food, chemical medicators, work, and alcohol.
Why Care about AddictionAddiction is not to be taken lightly. People get treatment because things have gotten out of their control. Some do not need to deal with a lot of changes.
"Depending on what the behavior is, there is always an impact." - Eric Connor
Whatever type of addiction, there is always a tradeoff. It could impact one's time, finances, and mental energy. Whatever the case, behaviors have a strong thinking component which people connect with.
