Breaking the Stigma: Finding Your Path to Recovery with Dr. Adi Jaffe

If you change the way that you think, it's going to change the way that you feel. Addressing those thoughts so we can feel differently, that sums it up best.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the shame and stigma surrounding addiction? This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast might just offer the perspective you need. Host Zachary Crouch sits down with Dr. Adi Jaffe, a psychologist with a Ph.D. from UCLA and the founder of IGNTD, to tackle these tough issues head-on. Dr. Jaffe opens up about the damaging effects of shame in addiction and how it can prevent people from seeking help.
He shares his personal journey and professional insights, offering a refreshing take on how to dismantle these barriers. But that’s not all. Zach and Dr. Jaffe dive into the challenge of finding the right recovery method tailored to your personality and needs. They explore various approaches, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Dr. Jaffe underscores the importance of aligning recovery methods with your values and beliefs, making the process more personal and effective.
The episode also highlights the role of self-awareness in overcoming addiction. Dr. Jaffe explains how understanding your cognitive distortions can be a game-changer in recovery. They discuss the benefits of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which can help reframe negative thoughts and improve emotional well-being. As Dr. Jaffe puts it, “If you change the way that you think, it's going to change the way that you feel”. Community support is another key theme in this conversation.
Whether it’s therapists, coaches, or peer groups, having a supportive network can make a significant difference in your recovery journey. Dr. Jaffe shares his experiences with IGNTD and how community plays a crucial role in sustaining long-term sobriety. This episode is not just informative but also deeply engaging and encouraging. It offers practical advice and real-world solutions for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and perhaps find the hope you’ve been looking for.
