In this episode, I'm talking to Psychotherapist and a Transformative Coach, Jason Shiers. Following the sudden death of his father at an early age, Jason had struggled with multiple addictions from the age of 14. He sought help everywhere and tried all kinds of approaches and methods to heal his childhood trauma and to overcome his addictions, including psychotherapy. In fact, he trained to become a psychotherapist himself. But it wasn't until he came across the Inside-Out understanding/3P that he found not only freedom from addictions and healing of his childhood trauma but also a fundamentally different way of looking at life and himself that brought him the peace of mind he was seeking all along.
