If you're going to try and motivate yourself with doing like what David Goggins did, if you're going to, you have to.
Ever caught yourself thinking that harsh self-criticism might push you to break free from addiction? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar dive deep into this very question. They unpack the Positive Drive Principle, a cornerstone of their model, which explains how our motivations can help us overcome addiction.
But they also warn against the pitfalls of negative self-talk, highlighting how it often leads to shame and feelings of inadequacy rather than progress. Instead, they advocate for positive self-reflection and the power of envisioning your goals. This episode also touches on the controversial link between addiction and trauma, debunking some common myths and questioning traditional treatment methods that may perpetuate negative self-talk. If you're looking for fresh perspectives on addiction recovery, this episode is a treasure trove of insights.
