Tunes for Healing: Paul Pellinger on Music's Role in Recovery

I realized early on that anyone I know in long term recovery, their change appeared to happen in their soul, not their head.
Music has a way of touching our souls, and in this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, Nate Larkin and David Hampton chat with Paul Pellinger about how melodies can mend hearts and minds. Paul, the Chief Strategy Officer for Recovery Unplugged Treatment Centers, shares his journey of discovering that long-term recovery often happens in the soul rather than the head.
This epiphany led him to co-found Recovery Unplugged, a unique treatment center that uses music as a powerful tool for emotional healing and expression. Paul dives into the fascinating connection between trauma, addiction, and music. He explains how Recovery Unplugged creates personalized playlists tailored to each client's emotional needs and experiences. These playlists help clients tap into their feelings and express themselves in a safe, supportive environment.
Paul also sheds light on how music can communicate directly with the brain's pleasure centers, offering a therapeutic pathway to recovery. Throughout the episode, you'll hear inspiring stories of how music has helped individuals connect with their emotions and find solace on their recovery journeys. Paul’s insights are both profound and practical, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about innovative approaches to addiction treatment.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and a deeper appreciation for the healing power of music.
