Addictions

the Askios website

Our addictions tend to develop as a way of coping with the echoes of our child abuse - a form of defence again pain that we cannot bear - or cannot bear to face.

Even the workaholic, while lauded by society, is often one of us, desperately busy to keep deeper issues at bay.
