Being very aware of our emotions and having the necessary tools to help us ride those waves is incredibly important. This means that we need to learn to be attentive to what we’re actually feeling, which can often be difficult. Letting go of your deepest pain by forgiving yourself and others is your ticket to recovery. You simply need to learn how to open the door so you can release your pain and receive healing in return. In today's podcast, Ana Holub shares her thoughts on connecting our emotions to help overcome addiction.
