Embracing Change: Stephen Buckbee on Virginia Satir's Impact in Addiction Recovery

Our job as therapists is to help people guide them into their chaos, to be with them in their process and realize that resistance is going to be a normal process, because we're asking in many cases for people to give up their lover.
Imagine quitting an addiction as if you're saying goodbye to a long-time lover. That's how Stephen Buckbee describes the journey to recovery using Virginia Satir's transformative methods. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Stephen to explore how Satir's approach has helped countless individuals navigate the challenging path of addiction recovery. Therapy, as Stephen explains, isn't about fixing someone but creating a safe space for self-discovery and slow, meaningful change.
They discuss the importance of meeting clients where they are, understanding resistance as a natural part of the process, and the significant roles of trauma and vulnerability. Stephen also highlights the power of mindfulness and group therapy in supporting recovery. If you're curious about how embracing change can pave the way to a healthier life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice from a seasoned expert in the field.
