Zachary Ragan: The Power of Connection in Recovery
There's a difference between being a human being and a human doing.
Imagine feeling like just another cog in the machine while battling addiction. Zachary Ragan from Tulip Hill Recovery believes that connection is the key to breaking that cycle. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, hosted by Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum, Zachary shares his non-traditional path to recovery and stresses the importance of staying connected with clients in the treatment industry.
He argues that those working in recovery should prioritize their own healing but never lose sight of the human connections that make recovery possible. Zachary also touches on the significance of alternative spiritualities, family dynamics, and trauma in shaping one's journey through addiction. He highlights how understanding these elements can lead to more personalized and effective treatment plans.
With a focus on education and individualized care, this episode offers a refreshing perspective for anyone involved in addiction recovery or mental health.
