The Fix: How to Break Your Addiction to Perfectionism One Small Step At a Time with Ian Morgan Cron
Manage episode 463540399 series 2813796
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ian Morgan Cron, host of the extremely popular podcast, Typology, and author of the new book "The Fix." We explore the universal struggle with addiction, but not in the typical way you may be thinking. As we dive into Ian's personal journey of recovery, we uncover how the 12-step principles can benefit not just those battling substance abuse, but also those with patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and approval-seeking behaviors.
Ian shares his experiences with addiction, from childhood struggles to an adult relapse, revealing how the 12 steps offered a roadmap to spiritual awakening and personal transformation. We discuss:
- The concept of "hungry ghosts" and how we attempt to fill our inner emptiness
- Why external solutions to internal problems often lead to addiction
- The surprising benefits of admitting powerlessness
Join us for this conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on healing, growth, and spiritual transformation.
