Being more connected to ourselves is the healing, and the healing enables us to be more connected to ourselves.
What if you could turn the cycle of trauma and addiction into a positive feedback loop that propels you toward a balanced, fulfilling life? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Serge Prengel, a therapist and author of 'The Proactive Twelve Steps for Mindful Recovery'. Serge shares his unique approach to recovery, blending somatic psychotherapy with trauma-informed techniques.
He believes in the power of being proactive and taking small, strategic steps to break free from feeling stuck and powerless. Serge has spent over 30 years engaging with the 12-step culture, admiring its community-driven support system. He discusses how this shared path helps individuals pull themselves out of life's toughest moments. However, Serge also brings his own twist to the traditional 12 steps, emphasizing a more personalized and mindful approach to recovery.
The episode dives into the concept of a 'virtuous cycle', where positive actions create a ripple effect, leading to more positive outcomes. This cycle can help anyone struggling with trauma or addiction to build a meaningful life filled with purpose and joy. Serge's insights offer practical tools for anyone looking to take control of their recovery journey.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the latest approaches to addiction treatment, this conversation is packed with valuable takeaways. Tune in to hear how proactive steps and peer support can transform the healing process.
