  • Reflection:
    • How do you relate to the topic of addiction?
      Keep in mind, this may or may not show up for you as a traditional sense of addiction - alcohol, drugs, eating, etc - consider also the sense of addiction to specialness, control, thought patterns/beliefs - and the forms of behavior those show up as for you.
    • When you consider the core of addiction being a belief in lack and a desire for real connection, how do you see this showing up for you in your life?
    • How do you see control being connected to addiction? 
    • How do you see yourself using 'addiction as a barometer'?
