For mindfulness, in your own practice, do you find yourself practicing this throughout The Day in your own lives, or is it something that you have to check in throughout The Day and really like?
Imagine harnessing the power of your mind to help overcome addiction and trauma. In this episode of Avalon Recovery Society Radio, host Leanne Utendale sits down with two experts who are doing just that. Kevin Diakiw, a Qualified MBSR Teacher, and Jas Sandhu, a Substance Use Counselor, share their experiences and wisdom on how mindfulness can be a game-changer in addiction recovery.
Kevin, the founder of Still Here Mindfulness Inc., brings his deep knowledge from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, while Jas integrates mindfulness into his counseling sessions at Sources in White Rock. They dive into the benefits of mindfulness practices, especially for those dealing with ADHD and other mental health challenges. One of the standout points is the importance of trauma-informed mindfulness practices.
These approaches ensure that individuals who have experienced trauma feel safe and supported on their journey to recovery. Kevin and Jas also discuss how mindfulness can help people lead more meaningful lives. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the intersection of mindfulness and addiction, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights that you won't want to miss.
