“You are extraordinary! My art, my job, my role, my goal, is to give you tools for recovery.”

“People come to me because they want to change. And that's a very extraordinary moment…”
Before I introduce myself further, I want to mention to all of the beautiful people who watch my RUclips videos that you can sign up for my email newsletter, for excellent emails, links to any free classes, and, now, you can also to receive a free download of my free 'Trigger Triage' sequence, a free PDF that walks you through what you can do in moments of overwhelm, panic etc. to reset your stress system to neutral. A useful tool for anyone who has an anxious or addictive nature. Here's the link to that:

To comment more on the video, hello, welcome, if we have not met, my name is Carolyn Cowan.
I am 31 years clean and sober, which is a deal. It's a deal. It's never not a deal. I am also a psychotherapist with specialisms in addiction and anxiety, in all its forms, trauma, post-natal issues, and much more.
If you are interested in addiction and anxiety recovery, In October, I'm running a week long training, which is in person in London, seven days of 9:30 to 5:30, every day, exploring the mechanisms of the addictive nature.
It's called Mastering the Addictive Personality and the sub heading is The Path Out of Hell. If anyone was to ask me how I define addiction, I would say that addiction is suffering. I think that is what addiction is.
Find out more about this week long training here:

During this week-long training you will be walked, slowly, through your own internal hellscape, explore all you hold there, and be led back out. You will return armed with expanded ways of thinking, new ways of being and a huge number of tools to support you as you continue your journey, self-parent, choose transformation and build healthy interpersonal relationships with others.
You will reflect much on your own story in this process, but you do not need to share it with the group. Mastering The Addictive Personality is excellent for creating a new path for:
- Those in recovery
- The anxious
- The addicted
- Anyone with a trauma history
- Those with a history of self-harm or eating disorders
- Anyone struggling with
- anger,
- low self-esteem,
- high levels of stress,
- an endless quest for perfection,
- people pleasing behaviours.
- Anyone who is suffering.
My art, my job, my role, my goal, if you will, is to give you tools for recovery. That's the thing that I'm really interested in. How do you learn to better yourself? How do you come out of this idea that somehow you're toxic, you're bad, everything you've done is wrong?
The flip side of that is that I have I have never met an addict or somebody with a tall, dark history. Who isn't extraordinary. That's one of the things I find really fascinating about trauma … so the art is to dig away all the crap, dig away all the rubbish that's covering up that actually you're extraordinary.
You've seen extraordinary things you've done extraordinary things. This training is also open to yoga teachers who would like to work in the field.
It runs for 7 days, in Battersea, from 15th October this year. A PDF with more information can be found here:

I wish I lived in London 🌟 I'm an addict and I like myself a lot. I am also multitalanted, loved by the angels, kind to animals and amazing. Most people are predjudice and self righteous but don't really care about anything except increasing their sallary or sleeping around with as many people as possible. I thank good I'm different from them.
Kundalini is truly wonderful and you are a very interesting person. Been following your channel for ten years I think and I am grateful to you for sharing. Happy new year!
