If the clinician really believed that the therapy that they were using was effective, they had better outcomes.
Ever thought about how trauma can sneak its way into addiction recovery? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with Andrea Meier from the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center to shed light on a groundbreaking approach: Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT). It’s not just war veterans who suffer from PTSD; trauma can stem from various life experiences, and it often goes hand-in-hand with addiction. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding PTSD keeps many from seeking help.
But ICBT is changing that narrative. This therapy combines patient education, mindful relaxation, and cognitive restructuring to tackle both PTSD and substance use disorders. Andrea shares fascinating insights into how ICBT works in real-world community settings, supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). You’ll hear about the therapy's practical techniques like centering and breathing exercises, which help patients confront their trauma head-on.
Clinician belief in ICBT's effectiveness is crucial, and early trials show promising results, especially for those with severe PTSD. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intersection of trauma and addiction better. Tune in to discover how breaking the stigma can lead to effective treatment and lasting recovery.
