  • Summary

  • This episode will explore addiction and the internal experiences of people who have lived in this kind of darkness, cast aside by family, friends and society both emotionally and physically. Shame is a destructive and debilitating shroud that is heavy, dark and excruciatingly difficult to overcome. Especially when one’s own behaviour and life choices play a part in developing shame. However as you will discover throughout this conversation, shame starts young and weaves its way into the unconscious psyche of these individuals setting them up to feel different before their own behaviour becomes to blame. Most people only see the external, focussing on the behaviour that is presented to the world, what is seen. Teresa shares some of her experience both personally and professionally of the actual internal conflict and suffering that is experienced in the darkness of addiction.
