Discussion > The Heart of Addiction
Congratulations! I am glad your work is spreading. I just found you today and look forward to learning more. I saw an article in Psychology Today. I have been fighting shoplifting since 2008. I have learned a lot about myself during this time. I can see how your theory could help me. I don't think I can identify my triggers. Many times I have said (regarding other subjects) 'I never knew what question to ask." Maybe I could get an answer if I did.

I am about half-way through reading "The Heart of Addiction", thank you. I heard about your book via Gillian Riley's book "Eating Less" in which she talks how to go about eating less but without much explanation of what addiction really is.
I love healthy wholesome food and my diet (food way of life) is very healthy compared to most people, but I am addicted to overeating and having read just a few chapters of your book and applying my own philosophy (based on my unusual method of counselling and psychoanalysis) I have uncovered the underlying emotional reasons and am exploring how best to manage the triggers.
When I told a friend I was reading a book about addiction, he asked if I were able to put it down. There might be some truth in that!
