I think addiction is self-care that somebody in a lot of pain has to poison themselves or put themselves at great risk just to get through the day.
Picture a place where addiction treatment isn't just about abstinence but about understanding and compassion. In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson chats with Koorosh Rassekh, the visionary behind EVO Health and Wellness in Venice, CA. Koorosh brings a unique blend of science, mindfulness, and harm-reduction strategies to help individuals navigate their substance use challenges.
He shares his personal journey with addiction, which inspired him to create a space that breaks the stigma around mental health and promotes healthier lives for people and their communities. As a trained therapist with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, Koorosh integrates a humanistic approach into his work, emphasizing the importance of adolescence in shaping our ability to handle life's hurdles.
This episode dives into the benefits of movement and somatic groups, the impact of negative self-talk, and how EVO's approach helps clients see themselves in a more positive light. Koorosh also explores alternative healing methods like MDMA and ayahuasca, highlighting both their potential benefits and risks. If you're curious about compassionate, innovative ways to address substance use issues, this episode is a must-listen.
