How Ancestral Trauma and Behavior Affect Us
A client of mine has Parkinson’s disease. While eliminating underlying causes, we discovered she had repressed anger that she had inherited from her great-grandmother.

Read MoreIs the Opposite of Addiction Connection? Exploring the Root Causes of Addictions
The author of Chasing the Scream, Johann Hari states: “The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety – it’s connection”.
But can the causes of addictions be reduced down to just one simple reason?
In his TED talk, titled “Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong”, Hari argues that there is an underlying cause to addiction that isn’t being sufficiently addressed with addicts. He states that the current war on drugs does little to address what he says is the key underlying cause of addiction in the first place: The lack of connection and profound loneliness that perpetuates their behavior.

Terry came to me concerned about her weight. She had lost 40Ibs through weight watchers, but she was constantly worried about gaining it back, and she wanted to lose 30Ibs more.

I had a client that was addicted to pot, drank too much alcohol and played too much chess.
He would smoke 10-15 bowls (Pipes) per day, drink 2-4 alcoholic drinks per day, and had to play chess every day for 1-1.5 hrs.
He had tried to quit smoking pot before, and had successfully before, but it made him angry and resentful that he had to give up something he felt he needed. So to distract himself from his addiction to pot, he played chess 3-5 hrs a day! After a couple of years of this, he went back to smoking again.
So he asked me to release his addiction to pot, and we worked on all the triggers that made him want to smoke. Most of those triggers were around his difficulties getting along with people.
