I need to figure out how to protect people from myself.
What happens when a mind on 'steroids' meets the world of mental health and addiction recovery? Eric Schmidt from New Roads Behavioral Health dives deep into this question. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, Schmidt, who holds a Master of Science in Social Work and an MBA, shares his rich experiences and profound understanding of borderline personality disorder, substance abuse disorders, and innovative treatments like dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
Schmidt doesn't just talk about the theories; he brings them to life with real-world applications and heartfelt stories. He emphasizes the critical role of empathy and understanding in helping those who are struggling. “I need to figure out how to protect people from myself”, he candidly admits, highlighting the personal journey of self-care and reflection that professionals in this field often navigate.
Listeners will find themselves engrossed in discussions about psychodynamic theory and attachment theory, which offer deeper insights into the human psyche. Schmidt also tackles the tough issues, such as the affordability of DBT training and the unique challenges faced by individuals dealing with homelessness and substance abuse. Join hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum as they guide this enlightening conversation.
Whether you're dealing with mental health challenges yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the complexities of addiction recovery, this episode promises to be both informative and inspiring.
