Labels are so damaging. In terms of energy, when you label yourself or you take on label that someone has given you, you are connecting yourself to every other person who has that label. So an addict just connects themselves to all addicts in the world, same for illnesses etc.

If you then want to heal yourself from that condition you have to disconnect yourself from all the connects to everyone else and this is what makes healing so hard for some. The more connected someone is to a label the harder it is for them to heal.
