#102 - Ryan Hassan: Overcoming Addiction & Thriving
Jan 21, 2023Tap to summarizeLife took an interesting twist for Ryan in 2014. After the breakdown of a marriage, financial problems and a lifetime of not having the tools to handle negative emotions, he found himself in the depths of drug addiction.He was in a very dark place, using Ice & GHB everyday and running into trouble with the law. However, he was not only able to crawl out of that black hole, but was to become the most peaceful & happy he had ever been. This led him to completely immerse himself in how people end up in emotional pain and how it’s possible for anyone to be free from it.This led him to opening The Centre for Healing (Formerly The Melbourne Centre of Healing), to help people who have found themselves in the pain he once was. He has successfully helped many people in getting past their Addictions & Mental Health issues through his experience, understanding and knowledge.You can learn more here: https://thecentreforhealing.com.au/...Thanks for listening!
