About the event
What if addiction isn’t the problem — but an unhealthy solution to carrying too much for too long?
This webinar explores addiction, not as pathology or weakness, but as a coping strategy rooted in emotional misalignment, unmet needs, and accumulated inner weight — what I call the pennies.
Using the Penny Model and the four core emotions, we’ll look at how addictions develop and see that it is a coping strategy linked to our formative years, that it is trauma-based and supported by limiting beliefs and internal judgements. We will see (no matter how unhealthy) that an addict’s behaviour is a coping strategy and a signpost of where the work is to bring about a healthier balance, and explore how change becomes possible when authentic emotions, beliefs and internal judgements are named and owned.
In This Webinar We Will Explore:
What the Penny Model reveals about addiction, fatigue, and depression.
