Darren Littlejohn: Healing Trauma and Addiction with Compassion

Compassion and mindfulness is in so many ways the direction, it is the journey, it is the result, it is the manifestation, it is the fruition of much of what we're trying to achieve in recovery.
Ever wondered how compassion and mindfulness can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Way Out', hosts Charlie and Jason sit down with Darren Littlejohn, author and recovery coach, to explore his latest book, *Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions*. Darren brings a wealth of knowledge, diving into how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma can lead to emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental struggles that often derail sobriety efforts.
His insights on neuroplasticity reveal how the brain's ability to change can be harnessed for recovery. Darren also introduces listeners to Ati Yoga, or Dzogchen, a powerful tool for healing, alongside the benefits of meditation and music. The episode is packed with practical advice on building a supportive recovery network and emphasizes the importance of compassion and mindfulness as cornerstones of healing.
If you're on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable perspectives and tools to help navigate the path to sobriety.
