Ever wondered how modern science and ancient wisdom can intersect to help in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Alternative to Rehab', Dave Cooper dives into his latest book, 'The Medical Model', and offers a fresh take on addiction recovery. He contrasts the medical model's approach with biblical teachings, revealing surprising insights into how we perceive ourselves. Dave argues that while the medical model focuses on diagnosing and fixing, biblical wisdom emphasizes our inherent worth and potential for transformation.
He also shares fascinating anecdotes about meeting Max Glatt, the author of 'Alcoholism', and discusses how traditional views often miss the mark on true recovery. By incorporating neuroscience tools and divine resources, Dave advocates for a more holistic approach to overcoming addiction. He challenges listeners to rethink their self-perception, value their journey, and prepare for the challenges ahead, emphasizing that we are 'fearfully and wonderfully made'.
Tune in to explore how blending faith and science can offer a more fulfilling path to recovery.
