Harry Derbitsky's Path to Spiritual Wisdom and Addiction Recovery
So the spiritual part inside you, which is just- let's define it as happiness and contentment, to use a simple term, the happiness and contentment is there, but we cover it up with all that thinking, and so we don't actually discover it, we uncover it, right?
Ever wondered how spiritual wisdom can play a role in overcoming addiction? Harry Derbitsky, President of Advanced Coaches Training Inc. and author of 'Evolution of Addiction Recovery', joins Duane Osterlind on The Addicted Mind Podcast to share his unique approach. Though Harry has never battled addiction himself, he has dedicated his life to helping others find their way out of it.
His work with the indigenous people of Vancouver revealed that many want to break free from addiction but lack the know-how. Harry's method focuses on connecting individuals with their inner spiritual wisdom to find answers within themselves. He believes everyone has a spiritual core, often buried under layers of thoughts and daily struggles. By tapping into this core, individuals can experience true happiness and contentment, which is crucial for recovery.
Harry uses a three-principles model involving mind, thought, and consciousness to guide this journey. Instead of relying solely on external teachings, he emphasizes personal insights and moments of clarity. These can come from simple joys like a bike ride or time spent in nature. For those grappling with addiction, this shift from overthinking to intuitive understanding can be transformative. Harry's insights offer a refreshing alternative to traditional addiction treatments that focus mainly on behavior modification.
His approach is not just for those struggling with addiction but can enhance anyone's well-being by fostering deeper self-connection. In addition to his coaching work, Harry also hosts webinars on addiction and recovery, sharing valuable insights drawn from his experiences with Vancouver's indigenous community. Tune in to this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast to explore how spiritual wisdom can pave the way to overcoming addiction and finding lasting happiness.
