Ep 42: Christine Askew

Today, I am joined by Christine Askew, an amazing soul from the UK who now spends her days helping people manage a wide range of addictions from her base in the Philippines. Christine is a member Recovery From Addiction, a professional online treatment service for anyone suffering with drug and / or alcohol related addictions. During this podcast you will hear Christine and I talk about Attachment Theory, Schema Focused Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, and a wide range of other resources, tips, and tools to help you manage your addiction. We spend some time talking about loneliness; how a loss of connection can lead to addictions, and some advice on how best to deal with the isolation that loneliness can create.
