“The only stuff you can’t get over is the stuff you're hanging onto!”
In this episode of 'Audio/Video – The Freedom Model For Addictions', hosts Mark Shearren and Michelle Dunbar challenge the conventional wisdom about addiction. They assert that addiction is not a disease and argue that traditional rehab and 12-step programs might do more harm than good. Instead, they offer a refreshing perspective: addiction is a temporary problem, and you have the power to overcome it without the shackles of endless recovery rituals. Intrigued yet? You should be.
Mark and Michelle introduce their new workshop, 'The Solution to Addiction', designed to help you apply scientific principles to overcome addiction. They believe that understanding the science is one thing, but knowing how to apply it is where the real magic happens. If you've ever wondered why you keep falling back into old habits despite knowing better, this workshop aims to demystify that for you.
The episode is packed with practical advice and insights from their years of research and coaching. They discuss how external solutions like pills or therapy can't fix what's essentially an internal issue. The hosts emphasise the importance of autonomy and personal responsibility in overcoming addiction. They argue that when you sweep away all modern treatment models, what you're left with is you—and that's a powerful realisation. Mark and Michelle also share personal anecdotes, making the episode relatable and engaging.
From stories about dealing with loss to humorous parenting mishaps, they bring a human touch to a serious subject. The episode concludes with a compelling call to action: join their workshop to learn how to take control of your life and leave addiction behind for good. If you're tired of traditional recovery methods and looking for a new approach, this episode offers a thought-provoking alternative.
Don't miss out on this chance to hear from experts who truly understand the complexities of addiction.
