Most people who overuse a substance or controlling behaviors have a mental health issue.
Ever wondered why it's so tough to stay sober when you're also dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma? In this episode of the Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti dives deep into the world of co-occurring disorders (COD) and their impact on sobriety. Lynn, a seasoned mental health therapist, breaks down how these mental health issues often accompany substance abuse, creating a tricky cycle where one problem fuels the other.
She introduces the concept of yin and yang in treating mental pain with substances or behaviors, explaining how these opposing forces influence our mental health journey. A key point Lynn makes is about the role of self-talk. Negative thinking patterns can keep us stuck, but by recognizing and challenging them, we can start making strides toward lasting change. Lynn also stresses the importance of integrating different recovery care options.
Whether it's working with therapists, counselors, or exploring cognitive behavioral therapy or spirituality, finding a method that resonates with you is crucial. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with the dual challenges of mental health issues and sobriety. With Lynn's empathetic approach and practical advice, you'll gain a better understanding of how to navigate these complexities and take proactive steps towards holistic mental wellness.
