It's not necessarily physical violence but verbal aggression from patients or family members say how that could stir up the same feeling as something that happened at school, or something with a bully or something with authority, and it wouldn't necessarily take you back to again the memory of that.
What if the right book could change your perspective on addiction? In this episode of the 'Recovery Machine Podcast', hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams take you on a literary journey through the pages of some profoundly impactful books on addiction and recovery. This isn't your typical book club; it's an exploration of how specific titles have shaped their understanding and personal growth in the realm of addiction.
Nathan and Corey share their reflections on books like 'Embers: One Ojibway’s Meditations' by Richard Wagamese, which offers deep meditative insights, and 'The Whole Brain Child' by Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, which delves into the neuroscience of child development and its implications for addiction. They also discuss Pete Walker's 'Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving', a guide that has been pivotal in understanding the connection between childhood trauma and addiction.
Nathan brings to the table 'The Perennial Philosophy' by Aldous Huxley, a book that offers a spiritual perspective on human existence, and 'Unbroken Brain' by Maia Szalavitz, which presents a revolutionary new way of understanding addiction. They also touch on Gene M. Heyman's 'Addiction: A Disorder of Choice', which challenges conventional views on addiction. Throughout the episode, Nathan and Corey weave personal anecdotes with broader insights, creating a rich tapestry of knowledge and experience.
They invite you to reflect on how literature can influence your journey towards recovery. If you're looking for book recommendations that go beyond surface-level understanding and offer deep, meaningful insights into addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
