I have developed something I am calling the Magical Model of Understanding Experience and Cognition, or simply the Magic Model. It uses the language of magic, sorcery, enchantments, potions, fairies, Gods, Devils, demons, angels, and elves to communicate ethics, instructions for coping with difficult situations, and easily remembered and very vivid descriptions of sense experience and how it relates to the material world.
In this episode, numerous strategies for overcoming addictive behaviours are discussed, with mention of where to find further resources where applicable.
