Unlocking Emotions: Dr. Mark Green on AEDP in Addiction Treatment

If we don't understand the emotional piece of what is going on and how that impacts learning and how that impacts behavior, then we're leaving out a really important piece of the puzzle.
What happens when you combine deep emotional work with addiction treatment? In this episode of The Beyond Addiction Show, Dr. Josh King chats with Dr. Mark Green, a leading expert in substance use disorders and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Dr. Green takes us on a journey through AEDP, a therapy that zeroes in on the emotional experiences of patients. He explains how this approach helps individuals process difficult emotions and build positive connections, which are crucial for recovery.
The conversation doesn't stop there; they also dive into the importance of positive reinforcement and community support in overcoming addiction. Dr. Green's insights are not just informative but offer a fresh take on how emotions play a pivotal role in recovery. Alongside this, the episode touches on practical coping strategies for the winter season and introduces a new book aimed at helping families support their loved ones through addiction.
Whether you're grappling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about innovative treatment methods, this episode offers valuable perspectives that could change the way you think about recovery.
