We need to really reverse direction in a way, as in the title of our book, outgrowing addiction with common sense instead of disease therapy in ways that actually sort of just make good common human sense.
What if the way we think about trauma and addiction is all wrong? In this episode of the Life Process Program podcast, hosts Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads challenge some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding trauma and its role in addiction. They dive into what it really means to be 'trauma-informed' and draw a clear line between traumatic events and tough life conditions. But they don't stop there.
Peele and Rhoads also question the mainstream belief that trauma is the main driver of addiction, offering a more nuanced perspective that could change how you view recovery. They discuss how their Life Process Program helps people move past addiction with practical, affordable strategies that focus on personal growth rather than labeling individuals as victims of their circumstances. The conversation gets into the nitty-gritty of cognitive therapies and why they believe common sense should guide addiction treatment.
With a mix of insightful dialogue and down-to-earth advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of trauma and addiction. Ready to rethink your approach to recovery? Tune in to hear Peele and Rhoads shed light on these crucial issues.
