Everybody doesn't make it, but everybody has the opportunity and the possibility of getting into recovery and staying there and helping others in the process. It really is a message of hope and that people can get better over time.
What happens when two leaders in addiction recovery sit down for a heartfelt conversation? In this episode of Recovery Soapbox, Jonathan Saul, Executive Director and founding partner of Brighton Recovery Center, chats with Michael Herbert, an internationally recognized clinician with over 25 years of experience. Michael's journey from addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others is both inspiring and enlightening. Michael opens up about his own struggles with addiction and how they shaped his approach to helping others.
One of the key themes in their discussion is the crucial role of family dynamics in the recovery process. Michael emphasizes that recovery isn't just about the individual but involves the entire family. He believes that everyone in the family contributes to both the problem and the solution. The conversation also touches on the concept of recovery coaching.
Michael shares his belief that his role isn't to motivate someone to seek recovery but to assist those who are already motivated and feeling stuck. His personal experiences lend authenticity and hope to his coaching methods. Jonathan and Michael also explore the challenges faced by professionals in the field of addiction recovery. Michael talks about the pervasive denial surrounding addiction, whether in the United States or abroad.
He shares stories of working with individuals and families, highlighting that while not everyone makes it, the opportunity for recovery is always there. Cultural differences in addiction recovery are another focal point. Michael shares insights from his work in various countries, noting how cultural nuances can impact the recovery process. Despite these differences, he firmly believes that with the right support, anyone can find a path to recovery.
