How Addiction Gets Passed Down the Generations with Josh Connolly
Über diese Folge
This week, I’m speaking with Josh Connolly. Josh is a coach, a speaker and one of the UK’s most influential advocates for mental health. He is the child of an addict and an addict in recovery himself. Josh is also a dad of four and in this episode, we really unpack how dysfunction, trauma and addiction get passed down through the generations. We speak about how we can help people we know who struggle with addiction and how we can help ourselves if we struggle with addiction and the tendency to avoid our feelings. Josh also speaks passionately about how positive thinking and spiritual bypassing can be dangerous – and why this seems to be so prevalent in the wellbeing space at the moment. I really loved our conversation – I’m really passionate about this topic and I hope you find it helpful. For the full show notes, please head over to motherkind.co. Learn more about your ad choices.
