In recovery, developing this healthy relationship with yourself is so important, and a relationship that stems from self-compassion, kindness, is so important in the recovery process, because my belief is that addiction really thrives in that place of shame and guilt and regret, and not from a place of love and kindness, and forgiveness and compassion.
Imagine a therapy session where everyone in the family has a voice, and each member's value is acknowledged. This is the essence of Virginia Satir's groundbreaking approach, which Tim Sitt discusses in this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast'. Hosted by Duane Osterlind, this conversation dives into how Satir's methods, which were revolutionary in the 1960s, remain impactful today, especially for those battling addiction.
Tim Sitt, a clinician at the Freedom to Move Group, shares his deep appreciation for Satir's work. He explains how her approach shifts away from traditional psychoanalytic models that often perpetuate a hierarchical structure. Instead, Satir's techniques involve the entire family, ensuring that progress made during therapy isn't undone when the individual returns to their home environment. For those struggling with addiction, shame and a lack of self-worth are common companions.
Satir's model aims to bring dignity and self-compassion into the therapeutic process. This episode sheds light on how fostering positive self-connection and compassion can be transformative in addiction recovery. Sitt and Osterlind discuss the role of trauma in addiction and how Satir's techniques can help individuals build healthier relationships with themselves and others. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction treatment that emphasizes love, kindness, and forgiveness over guilt and regret, this episode is a must-listen.
It offers valuable insights into how positive self-connection can pave the way for lasting recovery.
