NL0609:
The Power of Addiction
12
Contact Hours
If
I had to choose one false belief that causes the most pain
for most people, it would be the belief that we can control
how important people in our lives feel, think and behave.
In my work with individuals and couples dealing with addictive
behavior, I encounter this belief and the many ramifications
of it over and over. It seems very difficult for most people
to accept the truth about their lack of control over others.
The pain, frustration, loneliness and aloneness that result
from not accepting your lack of control may be the underlying
cause of your addictions.
