I imagine many of you have your own stories of growing up sensitive. Recently talked with my chiropractor, Dr. Carol Jillian, about how our bodies respond to constant adrenaline production. Dr. Jillian's expertise is helping people with chronic physical problems related to long-standing emotional problems or stresses. But adrenaline is a drug. It's a way not to be present.
Addiction can begin as a way to cope with uncomfortable situations.
It starts as a way to avoid pain, but it ends up creating more, as do all addictions. We create crisis. We worry about things that don't need worrying about. Essentially we're making ourselves sick this way. Culturally, the busier you are, the more important you are, so it becomes a perpetual problem.
