Rethinking Addiction: Embracing Complexity with the AQAL Map
When you hear that there is one particular answer, it's medical, it's psychological, it's societal, whatever the case, and that doesn't resonate with you and your experience and your typology, because we all respond differently to different things.
Ever wondered if there's more than one way to understand addiction? In this thought-provoking episode, hosts John Dupuy, Bob Weathers, and Doug Prater shake up traditional views by diving into the AQAL map's four quadrants. They discuss how looking at addiction from multiple angles can help us grasp its complexities better. With references to Bertrand Russell's ideas on certainty and doubt, the hosts challenge listeners to question their assumptions and open their minds to new perspectives.
The episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical advice on using integral principles to aid in recovery. Whether you're on your own journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers a fresh take that could make all the difference.
