Understanding the Alarm System: Dr. Bill Pettit on Depression and Addiction
These are love letters. They are like if creating stress- and maybe I mentioned this last time we met- if creating stress with, with, with these beautiful gifts of mind, thought and consciousness, is like creating radioactivity in our body.
Ever wondered if your mind is trying to send you a message when you're feeling down or reaching for that drink? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', Dr. Bill Pettit unpacks the concept of the 'alarm system' in our minds. He reveals how our mood, tension levels, thoughts, physical sensations, behaviors, and even our relationships act as signals indicating we're veering off course.
These aren't just random symptoms but 'love letters' from our mind, urging us to pay attention and realign ourselves. Dr. Pettit shares how recognizing these alarms can transform how we view and manage addiction and depression. By becoming mindful observers rather than harsh judges of our internal states, we can tap into a divine thought system that promotes healing and reduces chronic mental stress.
If you're seeking a fresh perspective on mental health and addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
