Natasha Silver Bell: Crafting Your Own Recovery Path
When they teach you to be a recovery coach, is it a process like taking someone through the steps, or is it a totally different way of working through it, or is it just sort of open ended and you just sort of have to let the client lead?
Ever felt like traditional recovery methods just don't fit? Natasha Silver Bell knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', she opens up about her personal journey from battling eating disorders and substance abuse to becoming a certified recovery coach in New York City. After deciding to leave AA in a rather dramatic fashion—announcing her departure and being toasted out with an expensive bottle of wine—Natasha found herself searching for a different approach to sobriety.
She discovered recovery coaching, a method that emphasizes personalized plans and individual support. Natasha dives into the importance of prevention, especially for parents, and the role genetics can play in addiction. She also highlights the dangers of prescription drug abuse and the power of community in the recovery process. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on sobriety and the potential of tailored recovery strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
