----------

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Eddie Capparucci to explore emotional regulation as the cornerstone of addiction recovery. Dr. Eddie explains the "window of tolerance," how unresolved childhood trauma drives addictive behaviors, and why true recovery goes beyond just stopping harmful actions.

We discuss how emotional dysregulation connects to relapse, how people of faith can embrace their emotions in healthy ways, and how deeper emotional work transforms relationships, intimacy, and character. Dr. Eddie also shares practical techniques to help listeners begin their emotional healing journey today.
