ABOUT OUR GUESTS:
Drew Wild’s mission is to change the way this planet looks at and approaches addiction. And to tear down any stigma associated with that word.
In his humble opinion “addiction” or distraction is everywhere.
People are choosing to numb out or distract from themselves more than ever before in this plugged in society.
Be it alcohol, drugs, porn, social media, dating apps, Netflix, food and over eating, over working or people pleasing, you name it, Humans are over indulging to avoid actually feeling and processing their emotions and it’s manifesting in the form of DIS-ease.
Drew believes that, quite simply, the vice eg the drugs or social media or food is just a symptom of a deeper rooted problem. It’s just the coping mechanism people have found works to suppress the hurt and pain of the past. And it works really well, until it doesn’t.
When we can stop looking through the lens of “why the addiction?” And start looking at it from “why the pain?” Or why the need to numb, we begin to find a more permanent solution to a very real global problem.
Drew works with those who struggle to break free of their vices, who want to live a life of freedom without needing to lean on alcohol, porn, social media, pills, food, weed, drugs, or anything else holding them back that leaves them feeling regretful, empty and unfulfilled.
He helps them to dig up their vice, rip it up at its roots, and guide them to reseed the programming so that it never shows up again. What separates him from other coaches is that he has lived the experience. He comes from the trenches of rock-bottom drug and alcohol addiction and because of this his clients experience permanent lasting shifts and learn to live what it means to be better than their bullshit and how to thrive whilst doing so.
Matt Kay:
I spent my entire younger life from age 12 to age 26 addicted to various substances, mainly heroin, I was in and out of prison and experienced all the horror that comes along with that lifestyle.
All the therapy, all the misdiagnosis and all the rehabilitation never touched or recognised the underlying trauma that drove my self soothing behaviours.
It wasn't until I attended rehab for the 17th time that someone suggested I look at my trauma, for the first 12 months I spent in transitional housing I engaged in deep somatic work and healing. I became fascinated with seeing the unconscious forces which governed my life, and how they were experienced as densities within the felt sense of my body. As these densities were released, parts of my identity began to fall away and I began to experience a deeper and more essential Self, the I Am.
The insights that came quite organically throughout this inquiry and unravelling process align very much with the message of your book, and lead me into the teachings of Hameed Ali and Adyashanti. And of course, as a natural result of these insights this has now become my life's work to assist others to unravel these survival adaptations so they can begin to experience a more embodied, authentic and present life.
