My experience with trauma as it related to addiction and how I freed myself.

Hi, I used to have multiple addictions, which I discover some authorities believe to be related to child abuse, and myself looking for something that was not provided to me. My former addiction was a response to abuse, and was me seeking a solution to the abuse, finding the feeling that love gives, and I never got. I had things done to me, and other things were not provided to me.
I was very fortunate that I found myself an analyst, and she subsequently referred me to a clinical psychologist. I also studied online work of Dr. Schmidt (DNMS), and Dr. Jack Kornfield (healing temple). I actually went to rehab, around 17 years ago, and although I was admitted to a top rehab center, for three months, rehab just continued on with the abuse and bullying, and although that rehab also had a trauma program, they did not provide me any access to it. So they sent me home, and as long as my urine drug screen was negative, I was considered "cured", except I wasn't. The enforced abstinence was just a bandaid, a bandaid for the rehab "doctors", but my addictions still continued on in full force, and with no abatement what so ever at all.
With the passage of time, and sometimes when I was off work, some friends would invite me to their place to study the Word, to which I have no objection, besides being off work I had plenty of time. To prepare myself for a dinner invite, I opened google, and it showed up: John 15:7 I thought that was pretty good, so I made my requests: 1. remove the sorrow from my heart and replace it with your love and joy 2. remove my fear from outwardly expressing your inner presence in me 3. remove my anguish and comfort me with your presence.
Of course the hosts had no clue what that meant.
The next day, I called my friend, and told her the prayer. I had figured out she was not judgemental, so I could tell her anything, and although she was on LTD, I didn't know from what, but I had a feeling she knew something about psychology. As soon as I told her the prayer, she knew what it was about: child abuse. I'm a child abuse victim. she called my wife to ask permission, since she knew it would mean being on the phone hours at a time, several times per week, for months on end. my wife said yes. then she called back and said it was ok for her to work with me.
She hadn't heard the term "reparenting", but that's what she did: "reparenting".
we made a lot of progress, but then she hit a brick wall and referred me to clinical psychology. My psychologist said I was the most traumatized person she had ever met.
With COVID, psychologist had to close up for a while, but I didn't want to stop my therapy, so I went online and found out about DNMS and Healing Temple.
After 6 months of psychologist, twice/week, I went back to my friend, and told her about Healing Temple, so she started doing healing temple work with me.
My latest session, my analyst (without knowing anything about DNMS either), actually did DNMS therapy, following her healing temple session with me.
I shared my work online in another forum, and a user there simply sent John 14 16:17
So I used to have PTSD, I used to have addiction, my mental health has been treated properly, and as a natural process, I feel zero towards anything to do with addictions.
I do not require any urine screens or any "nanny" looking over me. I refer to my analyst as "mother in Christ", and "big sister in Christ".
Trauma and child abuse is the genesis of addiction. To treat an illness, you look at the root cause, and treat the root cause. My healers are JC, and in Healing Temple,
JC places gifts on the healing altar for me, the exact gifts I need to heal myself with.
Ages ago, I did attend 12 step, to keep the authorities satisfied, for me it was a bandaid for the "doctors" and the "authorities".
The real authority is JC or Buddha, the real doctor is you. It was just by some random chance I found my analyst, I actually did not knew she did that, and
I have a close friend who is an expert medical subspecialist, and when I told her about the work my "analyst" was doing with me, and that I felt as if I was
going for a consult to Mayo clinic, my medical friend shook her head: "no one does that kind of work anymore".
All of the above is true, and my experience is exactly as described by the brilliant physician Dr. Gabor Mate. Everything Dr. Mate describes in his online podcast/interview,
is exactly myself, right to a t, and I suspect it is also exactly a great deal of other people, right to a t, but they just never knew, because "no one does this kind of work anymore",
and besides that kind of work is $$$$. My friend charges me not one red cent, all the work is through JC, and JC does all work for free. My friend is pretty poverty stricken, LTD
doesn't pay much, so I buy food for her when I do my shopping, I buy her vitamin supplements for her, omega-3 etc., sometimes I bring over home made yoghurt with steel cut
oats for her, these are my temple offerings, my friend always offers to pay, I just shake my head no, these are temple offerings.
