19 | Healing the Root Causes of Addiction with Lindsay Kolterman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Lindsay Kolterman, CEO of The Source Chiropractic Franchise.
As a member of the LGBTQ community raised in rural America, a daughter who’s supported her father through his addiction recovery, and a woman committed to continual healing and self love, Lindsay carries powerful story medicine and practical wisdom.
Chelsea shares (for the first time on Recovered Life) how shame, self hatred and addiction fueled her addiction, how she’s found self acceptance within the LGBTQ community and her shift towards a self empowered approach to recovery.
Chelsea and Lindsay highlight some of the pitfalls of the “traditional” recovery approach, including:
• Lifelong identification with one’s addiction, using statements like “I am an alcoholic” or “I am an addict”
• Allowing one’s self to remain in victim consciousness
Key take aways, quotes and questions from Lindsay Kolterman:
“The primary root of addiction is disconnection from Self and God.”
In order to identify and heal the root of addiction, ask yourself “Who hurt me, and what is it about myself that I hate?”
“99% of spiritual work is self love.”
