Discover a whole new understanding of yourself and your habits. You do in fact have complete control and the ability to make huge changes in order to radically improve your life, physically, emotionally and spiritually All blocks, fears and resistances are entirely possible to overcome with this new way of thinking and processing. Tamala Ridge is the Founder and Director of the Institute for Spiritual Companioning. Tamala provides mentorship and training for coaches, practitioners and therapists to support greater transformation for their clients and teams through the processes of detoxification, spiritual development, professional skill development and trauma informed practices. Her mission is to inspire others to connect with their hearts, intuition and divine wisdom and to trust that everyone already has all the answers within. After her own battle with addiction, and then a 10-year career as a drug and alcohol counsellor, she has become a self-confessed detox junkie who now gets high on the sobriety of her untainted soul. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
