Abstinence is amazing, but that's not for everyone. And as long as you're not using that, doesn't matter what else you're doing.
Ever wondered what really happens in the brain during addiction? Dr. Talia Marcheggiani sits down with Dr. Aaron Van Gaver, a naturopathic doctor and addictions counsellor, to unravel this complex topic. Dr. Van Gaver brings his own personal experiences with addiction to the table, making this conversation deeply insightful and relatable. The episode covers a range of topics including the controversial 'cutting them off' approach, Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry, and Carl Rogers' Rogerian method of counselling.
You'll also hear about innovative models like Vancouver's Insite safe injection site and the Rat Park experiment, which challenge traditional views on addiction treatment. Whether you're curious about the dopamine cycle or the debate between harm reduction and abstinence, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that could change the way you understand addiction and recovery.
