So the idea is to shift from The Perspective- Traditional Perspective- something is wrong with you- to a trauma-informed perspective- what happened to you?
Ever wondered how shame ties into addiction and what you can do about it? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott sits down with Vira Salzburn, a yoga teacher and the program director for safety and resilience programs in Chatham County. They tackle the heavy topic of shame and its deep connection to addiction, shedding light on how self-compassion can serve as a powerful antidote.
Salzburn shares her unique approach to overcoming addiction, which is grounded in Shame Resilience Theory and a trauma-informed perspective that shifts the focus from 'what's wrong with you' to 'what happened to you'. Throughout the conversation, you'll hear about practical strategies like 'Shame Shivers', a method popularized by Charlie Sheen, and micro-decisions you can make daily to build resilience. Salzburn also emphasizes the importance of community support, coaches, and therapists in the recovery journey.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into breaking free from the cycle of shame and addiction. Packed with raw and engaging content, this episode isn't just informative—it's a lifeline for anyone looking to understand and combat the complex relationship between shame and addiction. Tune in to discover how resilience can pave the way to recovery.
