The purpose of cognitive behavioral therapy is to show you that you have ultimate control over your thoughts and your behaviors- that's right, period- and that you're the master.
Feeling trapped in a cycle of depression and addiction? You're not alone, and The Freedom Model for Addictions is here to shed some light on this complex issue. In this eye-opening episode, hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the age-old question: does depression lead to addiction, or does heavy substance use cause depression? The answers might surprise you. Forget what you've heard about 12-step programs and the disease model of addiction.
This episode argues that these traditional methods often miss the mark. Instead, it champions cognitive behavioral therapy as a more effective approach. By focusing on personal beliefs and thoughts, the hosts show how individuals can take control of their mental health and substance use. The episode is packed with practical advice and fresh perspectives, making it a must-listen for anyone struggling with these intertwined issues.
If you're ready to break free from the depression-addiction trap, this episode offers the tools and insights you need to reclaim your life.
