In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Shearren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the controversial idea that addiction isn't a disease and question the effectiveness of traditional treatment methods. They argue that addiction can be overcome without the need for 12-step programmes or rehab, suggesting that these approaches may actually hinder recovery.
The hosts share their insights on moving past addiction by rediscovering activities and passions that once brought joy, and by rejecting the 'addict' identity imposed by society. With a mix of personal anecdotes and client case studies, Mark and Michelle illustrate how individuals can reclaim their lives and find new purpose after addiction. The episode also touches on overcoming loneliness and the importance of devaluing addictive behaviours to make room for positive change.
If you've ever felt trapped by the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical advice on finding freedom.
