If you truly want to change your world, you've got to change your thinking, and that is not easy to do...
Why do we often turn to substances to numb our pain? In this engaging episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Blu and Marisa Robinson tackle this question head-on. Coach Blu, a licensed mental health therapist, and Marisa, a Certified Recreational Therapist, bring their expertise to the table in a lively, open-topic discussion. They cover a wide range of issues related to addiction, recovery, mental health, and wellness.
This episode isn't just about answering questions; it's about digging deep into the roots of addiction and understanding the complex layers that come with it. From emotional and mental pain to physical and spiritual struggles, no stone is left unturned. Trauma, in its many forms, is highlighted as a significant factor in addiction. The hosts emphasize that trauma doesn't have to be a monumental event to be impactful; even smaller experiences can shape one's journey and identity.
Therapy is presented as a crucial tool for those battling addiction and mental illness. They discuss the EMDR modality, which helps reduce the fear surrounding traumatic events. For those hesitant to open up in therapy, the episode offers practical advice on how to start these tough conversations. Personal stories from both hosts add a relatable touch, illustrating that change is possible even when it feels daunting.
They also explore how neglect and parental roles can contribute to trauma, underscoring the importance of addressing these issues for better mental health. The episode wraps up with insights on how mental illness can affect relationships, particularly marriage, and the importance of teamwork in overcoming these challenges. With a mix of personal anecdotes and professional advice, this episode provides listeners with the tools they need to embark on their own paths to recovery.
