We should be able to question these things and to question our own stories, and the more that we can educate people on best practices for questioning the stories that are going on in our head, we're going to be able to reduce shame and stigma.
What if the way we talk about addiction is making things worse? Jamie Salsburg, host of 'The After Gambling Podcast', takes a deep dive into this question in this episode. Drawing from his own journey with gambling addiction, Jamie unpacks the complex layers of shame and stigma that often accompany it.
He suggests that our individual experiences shape how we interpret messages about addiction, and that by questioning our own stories, we can start to dismantle the shame and stigma we carry. Jamie also highlights the power of language, urging us to adopt a mindset of 'strong beliefs loosely held'. This means being open to changing our views as we learn and grow.
If you've ever felt misunderstood or judged because of addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective that could change how you see yourself and others. It's a thoughtful discussion that challenges the oversimplified narratives we often hear about addiction.
