Holy & Human: Elisa Romeo & Adam Foley w/Linda Johnson
"Addiction vs. Soul"
The word “addiction” is derived from the Latin term for, “enslaved by” or “bound to.” Addictions control our lives and block clear connection to Soul. Today, we talk to an incredible addictions expert and Elisa’s former colleague, Linda Johnson, LMFT, LAADC about the spiritual path of facing addiction and the most effective tools for recovery. Overcoming addiction forces us to investigate our primitive biology and highjacked brain chemistry. Addiction is an extreme journey, that many do not survive, but it is also an opportunity to master our impulse towards death wish or life wish. Recovery takes fierce love and spiritual strength. Dive in with us as we explore how to transform compulsion into gained wisdom.
