Jennifer Angier on Breaking Down Barriers in Addiction Recovery
So what I encourage us to do in the industry is stop labeling with those type of words that immediately put the patient on the defense and us as the one that knows more about them than they do, and just really hear the story of what is the barrier to them seeing the truth about what's able to happen in their life with recovery.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in truly listening to each person's story? Jennifer Angier, CEO of Talbott Recovery, brings her wealth of experience as an addictions counselor to this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted'.

This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt wisdom, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction recovery.
