Mindfulness and Recovery: Gordon Bruin's Tools for Healing

Mindfulness is the most critical class in starting in kindergarten. If we look at the true meaning of mindfulness from my perspective- and I think we've so overused that words in the last number of years that when you hear the word mindfulness, it means something different to almost everybody.
Imagine a world where mindfulness isn't just a buzzword but a powerful tool for overcoming addiction and trauma. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum sit down with Gordon Bruin to uncover how mindfulness can be a game-changer in recovery. Gordon, who has dedicated his life to understanding the brain and its complexities, shares his insights on breaking free from the grip of the limbic system and embracing intentional thinking.
He delves into practical tools like VIA character surveys, EMDR therapy, and even Muay Thai, making the conversation both enlightening and actionable. But it's not just about techniques; Gordon emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence and transforming past traumas into self-determined goals. He talks about the power of listening, validating experiences, and reclaiming personal strength. If you're looking for ways to shift from merely surviving to truly thriving, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, you'll find valuable takeaways that can make a real difference.
