Ever wondered about the hidden dangers lurking in the everyday substances we consume? I sat down with David Kerwin, a recovered addict and a life coach with over 40 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, who recently decided to conquer his final frontier: sugar and flour addiction. With a wealth of personal and professional insight, David unravels the complex relationship between our minds, our bodies, and the substances we often take for granted.In our insightful conversation, we venture into the fascinating world of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model that David employs to great success. David paints an intimate portrait of the IFS, which features three distinct parts: exiles, managers, and firefighters. The journey into our internal world does not stop there; we delve into eight characteristics of self, including calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, connectedness, and choice. But the stakes are more than theoretical. We also grapple with the reality of food addiction, a frequently overlooked yet potent form of addiction. Our conversation uncovers the critical role that honesty, vulnerability, and a robust recovery foundation play in overcoming these unseen battles. We also examine the unique power of IFS in managing not just substances like alcohol, drugs, caffeine, and nicotine, but also sugar and flour. So, sit back and join us for a transformative journey into the depths of addiction, recovery, and the promise of a healthier, more connected life.Florence's courses & coaching programs can be found at:www.FlorenceChristophers.comConnect with Florence on:FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE
