One of the biggest causes of addiction and abuse is people not having a sense of purpose in this world.
Imagine finding your true self in the heart of the wilderness. In this episode of Recovery Corner, wilderness therapist Shane 'Shooter' Nelson shares his incredible story of healing and self-discovery through nature. Shane opens up about how the great outdoors helped him break free from addiction and find a new purpose in life. His journey isn't just about personal triumph; it's about the programs he's developed to help others do the same.
Shane's wilderness therapy programs are designed to help people in recovery find their identity and momentum by embracing the power of nature. Through activities that push boundaries and foster vulnerability, participants learn to let go of the facades they’ve built and face their true selves. Shane discusses how traditional rehab centers often fall short in providing a sense of purpose, something he believes nature can offer in abundance.
The episode dives into the benefits of outdoor activities for mental health and well-being, highlighting how the sense of community built in these settings can be a game-changer for those in recovery. Shane’s passion for nature and recovery is palpable as he describes his work with youth, focusing on overcoming social fears and discomforts. His belief that 'recovery is the most beautiful word outside of love' resonates deeply throughout the episode.
If you’re looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and the transformative power of nature, this episode is a must-listen.
