That's a hyper focus on a problem instead of a whole person who has skills and dreams and hopes. We're the what else is going on and everything else results.
Are labels like 'alcoholism' and 'addiction' really helpful, or do they do more harm than good? In this eye-opening episode of the LPP Podcast, hosts Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele tackle this hot-button issue head-on. They argue that these labels can be discouraging and don't capture the full picture of a person's struggles. Instead, they advocate for focusing on values and the present moment to achieve realistic, incremental improvements in recovery.
The episode dives into the differences between the DSM, AA, and LPP approaches to addiction, shedding light on why understanding individual experiences and societal factors is crucial. The hosts also discuss how clinicians can support clients in a non-judgmental way, emphasizing respect and empathy. If you're curious about new ways to think about addiction and recovery, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective that's sure to challenge your assumptions.
