The Heart of Addiction

Becoming Strong in the Broken Places Begins as We Reconnect to a Divine Source

Some of the most sensitive and spiritual people find themselves struggling with the burden of addiction. At the heart of addiction is a disconnection from a Loving Higher Power that leaves us feeling spiritually and emotionally empty. In desperation, we may turn to people, substances, or unhealthy behaviors to fill the void.

Individuals who have experienced varying degrees of sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, or spiritual abuse may suffer from chronic hopelessness, perfectionism, shame, fear, and low self-esteem. Religious people are not immuned to these problems. Even in the most well-intentioned families and well-intentioned religions, self worth may be based upon achieving a high standard of performance that supercedes a sustained, nurturing and supportive connection with a loving God. The feeling that we just can’t message up is a nagging, subconscious voice which leads to emotional distress and often, addiction.

12 Step Programs can help us reconnect to a true understanding of God’s nature. This humbling journey, with the support of fellow addicts, is the beginning of true health and wholeness for many who struggle with:

pornography addiction
compulsive overeating
chronic, unhealthy relationships
substance abuse and addiction
self-harming behaviors

Guided energy healing sessions can be a “next step” for 12 Step participants in clearing generational patterns and addressing the anxiety that precedes the need to “use.”
