What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this captivating episode of the UK Health Radio Podcast, hosts Liz Larson and Bill McKenna, along with their guest Sandra Nathan, explore the remarkable journeys of individuals who have faced addiction head-on.

From a man inexplicably drawn to women with nose piercings due to childhood separation from his mother, to a woman overcoming her fear of mice, Sandra's tales highlight the transformative power of cognitive movement therapy. One standout story involves a woman who struggled with a deep-seated belief that she could never succeed, stemming from her childhood. Through cognitive movement sessions, she broke free from these limiting beliefs and began winning at beach tennis, a sport she loves.
Another tale follows a talented singer-songwriter who lived hand-to-mouth due to an unconscious association between wealth and being unkind. After therapy, she began to see money flow into her life from unexpected sources. The episode also touches on the challenges of overcoming alcohol dependency. Sandra recounts the story of a client who found freedom from a lifelong habit of evening drinking after realising it was linked to feelings of belonging and escape from an unhappy home life.
