Amanda McQuade Crawford on Herbal Medicine and Addiction Recovery

So post-traumatic growth syndrome is something that, excuse me, it allows people who have been profoundly vulnerable. People who have been wounded have the opportunity to not just skate past it in some pollyanna-ish way, but rather to allow their wounds to heal up and make them infinitely stronger, wiser, more grounded, more compassionate.
Imagine blending the wisdom of ancient herbal medicine with modern psychotherapy to tackle addiction. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch sits down with Amanda McQuade Crawford, a seasoned herbalist and psychotherapist, to explore this fascinating intersection. Amanda shares her journey and expertise from her integrative health clinic, PhytoHumana, in California. They dive into a variety of topics, from the science behind addiction recovery to the emotional and biochemical aspects of healing.
Amanda's unique perspective on post-traumatic growth syndrome and her holistic treatment plans provide a fresh take on overcoming addiction. You'll hear about the power of different diet habits and how they can influence recovery, as well as the intriguing concepts of death and the afterlife in the context of therapy. Amanda's decades of experience shine through as she offers practical advice and deep reflections on the path to wellness.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about alternative healing methods, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in for a conversation that blends compassion, science, and holistic health in a way that's both engaging and enlightening.
