Addiction is not weakness — it is a signal. A question the mind keeps asking when it feels unheard. 🥃🖤 In this video, we explore addiction through a psychological and philosophical lens, moving beyond shame, labels, and surface-level explanations. Rather than treating addiction as a failure of willpower, this video examines it as an unconscious response to inner conflict, emotional suppression, and lost meaning. Drawing inspiration from depth psychology, neuroscience, and existential philosophy, the video reveals how addiction often functions as a coping mechanism — a misguided attempt to regulate pain, restore balance, or escape unresolved inner tension. This is not a motivational talk, but a reflective journey into the deeper structures of the human mind. ⸻ 🎯 Call to Action If this perspective resonates with you, take a moment to like the video, share it, and subscribe for more philosophical and psychological explorations of the human experience. 🌱 👉 Subscribe here: 🔗 / @gardenofthoughtstv ⸻ 🌿 About the Channel Garden of Thoughts is a space dedicated to deep psychological reflection, philosophy, and the hidden structures of the human mind.
