Relapse rates are so chronic it's almost impossible for someone to quit once and then never use again. People don't learn how to live life without substances.
Ever wondered why some people struggle to stay sober despite their best efforts? In this eye-opening episode of Elevation Recovery, Jan Veselak, an addiction therapist and relapse prevention coach with three decades of experience, shares his unique approach to overcoming addiction. Jan believes that changing your thoughts and beliefs is crucial to staying sober. He uses metaphors and storytelling to help clients tackle their issues without reliving trauma, making the recovery process more approachable and effective.
Jan dives into the neuroscience behind addiction, explaining how it alters the brain and why quitting can be so challenging. He also discusses the pros and cons of self-help pharmacology, a method where people use drugs to manage emotional or cognitive issues. While it can be beneficial for some, it also carries risks if not properly managed. What sets this episode apart is Jan's emphasis on a holistic approach to recovery.
He stresses the importance of addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. According to Jan, a successful recovery plan might include a mix of therapy, coaching, support groups, personal training, and nutritional guidance. This comprehensive strategy aims to equip individuals with the tools they need to lead fulfilling lives free from addiction. If you're looking for practical tips and a fresh perspective on staying sober, this episode is a must-listen.
Jan's insights offer hope and inspiration for anyone on the recovery journey.
