Through spiritual practice, it allows for a feeling of safety in the presence of a higher power or god or anything that a person is contemplating. When I have a patient I'm working with that can't connect. But what they find is that the spirituality and the meditation together is the most powerful tool in changing the neural functioning of the brain.
Imagine blending the worlds of science and spirituality to tackle addiction. That's exactly what a panel of experts does in this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast'. Hosted by Neil Scott, this discussion features voices from the Spiritual Care Addiction Treatment Professionals (SCATP), including Reverend Jack Abel, Eyglo Bjarnadottir, Lete Herrington, Bill Star, Dan Thompson, and Wolf Yoxall. They dive into why spirituality is more than just a feel-good add-on in addiction treatment—it's a crucial component for lasting recovery.
Reverend Jack Abel shares his experiences from the Caron Treatment Center, highlighting how integrating spiritual care into treatment plans can fill the gaps that traditional methods often leave behind. The panelists delve into how addiction rewires the brain and how spiritual practices like meditation can help rewire it back. They emphasize that spirituality isn't just about religion; it's about finding a higher purpose and reconnecting with oneself.
This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the intersection of neuroscience and spirituality in addiction recovery. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how spiritual care can transform lives and why it's essential for comprehensive addiction treatment.
