About this episode
About 14 years ago, a plane crashed into a volcano it didn't see because the coordinates had been two degrees off on the instrument panel.
This story reminds me of the current state of therapy: Therapy's success rates are shockingly low. In fact, even shock therapy gives you better odds. Now, it's not because therapists are bad people, most of them have the best intentions, but they're just two degrees off on how to solve it.
Well, in this episode, we look at Chapter 2 from my newest book, Built for Freedom, and my journey for discovering a better, faster, and more effective way to conquer your addictions and trauma.
Want to speed up your "healing process," and free yourself from your past? Listen now.
