People that are in recovery are the most humble people I've ever met, because they've been to hell and back and they understand what living really is.
Imagine sitting in on a lively debate between a seasoned therapist and someone who has lived through the throes of addiction. In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', Chris Gazdik welcomes Daniel Gasser, a man who spent over 30 years battling alcoholism. Now in recovery, Daniel brings his personal experiences to the table, sparking a fascinating conversation with Chris, who offers insights grounded in years of research and professional practice. This isn't your typical discussion on addiction recovery.
Chris and Daniel tackle some heavy-hitting topics: the biological and emotional facets of addiction, the early stages of recovery, and strategies for preventing relapse. They even delve into how culture influences addiction and the sense of powerlessness that often accompanies it. The contrast between Chris's clinical perspective and Daniel's lived experience makes for an engaging and eye-opening dialogue.
One standout moment is when Daniel shares his view on humility in recovery, saying, 'People in recovery are the most humble people I've ever met, because they've been to hell and back and they understand what living really is'. It's these kinds of heartfelt insights that make this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, whether personally or through a loved one.
So, if you're looking for a deeper understanding of addiction and recovery, or simply want to hear two very different yet equally valid perspectives, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and compassion. Tune in to 'Through a Therapist's Eyes' for a conversation that could change the way you see addiction.
