What we're saying is coercion doesn't work.
Curious about fresh perspectives in substance use treatment? In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson sits down with Dr. Andrew Tatarsky, the innovative mind behind Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP). Dr. Tatarsky, a leading expert in the field, combines psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness to create a more inclusive and flexible approach to addressing substance use and other risky behaviors.
This isn't your typical abstinence-only narrative; it's about meeting people where they are and offering practical solutions that fit their unique situations. Throughout the episode, Dr. Tatarsky sheds light on the limitations of traditional treatment models and the often-overlooked benefits of harm reduction strategies. He discusses the criminalization of drug use, the power imbalances in conventional therapy settings, and why it's crucial to provide options beyond abstinence.
With a rich background in clinical psychology and a passion for transformative care, Dr. Tatarsky's insights are both eye-opening and hopeful. For anyone grappling with substance use or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a refreshing take on how to approach these challenges with empathy and effectiveness. Tune in to explore how IHRP can pave the way for more compassionate and individualized care.
