Addiction:
Addiction isnt a matter of moral failure or weak willpower. It stems from a complex mix of genetic, biological, psychological, and environmental influences.

Trauma and PTSD:
Trauma isn't solely defined by what happened to us but by how it affects us internally. It encompasses growing up in environments marked by abuse, neglect, or unhealthy behaviors. This can include having parents with mental health challenges like anxiety or depression, or those who were perfectionistic, hypochondriacal, or inadequately nurturing.

Codependency:
Codependency is a deeply ingrained, compulsive behavior often arising from dysfunctional family dynamics and other systems. It involves relying on others for our sense of identity, value, and emotional well-being, as a way to cope with and try to heal our emotional wounds.
