Chris Burns: A New Vision for Addiction Recovery

We need openness, compassion and love, and I think, if you can, if that can be the wavelength in which we communicate with people that are sick and suffering, we'll have a much better opportunity at getting them across the track over into the treatment center and the help of what they so desperately need.
Ever thought about how addiction treatment could be more effective? In this episode of the Soulber Podcast, Chris Burns, the founder of Peaks Recovery, shares his personal journey through addiction and recovery. Chris doesn't just talk about his own experiences; he dives deep into why the current treatment models need a complete overhaul. He believes that openness, compassion, and love are key ingredients in the recovery process.
Chris also highlights the damaging effects of shame and how it can hinder recovery. During the conversation, you'll hear about the benefits of virtual support communities, especially during the pandemic when access to traditional care was limited. Chris argues that these online communities can provide a lifeline for many who are struggling. The discussion also covers the challenges faced by those trying to access care and how a more compassionate approach could make a world of difference.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear how Chris Burns envisions a future where addiction treatment is more humane and effective.
