In over 40 years of working with thousands of patients, I've found that the root of most addictions and transitional object use isn't weakness or lack of willpower. It's unresolved wounds — most of which formed in the first seven years of life, before you had any conscious awareness of what was happening to you. That's why so many people go to therapy and never actually get better. They're treating the symptom, not the source.
In this video, I cover:
→ What transitional objects actually are and the ones you probably have right now
→ Why 80% of your deepest wounds come from before age 7
→ How unresolved shadow content drives addictive behaviour unconsciously
→ Why most therapy fails to get to the real root cause
If you've ever asked yourself why you keep reaching for the same thing even when you know it isn't helping you — this is the video to watch.
