In this installment of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', Heather Hayes opens up about her personal recovery journey and how she empowers others to face their own battles with addiction and mental health issues. Heather's not just any expert; she's been featured on major TV networks like CNN and Dr.
Oz, and even appeared on A&E’s show 'Intervention'. Her insights are both grounded in experience and enriched by her extensive professional background. Heather dives into the importance of mental health professionals in crisis negotiation teams and discusses the dopamine hypothesis of addiction. She also sheds light on family dynamics, emphasizing the need for accountability and self-care.
