Finding Joy Beyond Addiction with Mindfulness: Insights from Rebecca Williams

Practicing mindfulness doesn't take anything but a exactly yeah. Mindful life, yeah, yeah, because you know mindfulness was a big part of my life and that's how I wanted to live.
What if the key to a joyful life beyond addiction lies in mindfulness? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind chats with Rebecca Williams, a licensed psychologist who has dedicated her career to understanding addiction and promoting recovery. Growing up with a mother who struggled with addiction, Rebecca was inspired to dive deep into the field, earning a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Over the past twenty years, she has found mindfulness to be an invaluable tool in both her personal and professional life. Rebecca shares how mindfulness has helped her manage anxiety and become a more effective psychologist. She discovered mindfulness through yoga back in the eighties, long before it became a mainstream practice. In this episode, she discusses the profound impact mindfulness can have on those recovering from addiction.
Through her books, '52 Mindful Ways To Live Joyfully Beyond Addiction' and 'The Gift of Recovery', Rebecca offers practical steps and affirmations to help people on their recovery journey. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and resilience, encouraging listeners to be kinder to themselves and take small steps towards improvement. Rebecca's approach is all about focusing on the present moment and letting go of judgmental thoughts.
Tune in to learn how mindfulness can transform your recovery journey and help you find joy beyond addiction.
