We need to look at the systems in place, because these systems are created, they're meant to work the way they are- I think that's the thing that we've all been learning This Year- is, these systems aren't broken, they're meant to be this way, and I think it's so important, especially with first nations populations, to start looking at these systems and understanding them and being able to get connected to our culture, especially when healing, especially when in recovery.
Imagine navigating the challenging waters of addiction recovery while also striving to reclaim your cultural identity. In this episode of Avalon Recovery Society Radio, Leanne Utendale sits down with Natasha Roop, a Master's student in Counselling Psychology at Adler University and a proud Splatsin First Nations woman. Natasha has spent years working in the field of addiction, driven by a deep passion for helping individuals heal from trauma and addiction.
She shares her unique perspective on decolonizing counseling and the importance of integrating cultural elements into the healing process. Natasha discusses her background, her hands-on experiences in recovery houses, and her current role with Avalon Recovery Society, where she leads impactful trauma webinars. She also delves into Adlerian counseling, a method that emphasizes community connection as a cornerstone of recovery.
Natasha's insights are not just informative but also deeply compassionate, shedding light on the systems that need to be understood and reformed for true healing. If you're curious about how culture and community can play pivotal roles in addiction recovery, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and inspiration.
