“We don't really understand addiction in our society, and so we're actually trying to treat something that we don't completely understand, which is why we're having relatively poor results in our treatment of addiction. If we understand it at a deeper level, we're going to understand that addiction comes from trauma. It's related to relationships, all of our relationships, that the root addiction is codependency.”
