Ever feel like your brain is on autopilot, pushing you towards choices you regret later? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods chats with Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, an addiction expert and director at The National Association For Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors. Cynthia shares her wisdom from years of helping people overcome addiction and impulsivity.
She dives into her book, 'Rein In Your Brain: From Impulsivity to Thoughtful Living in Recovery', offering practical tools to shift from knee-jerk reactions to more mindful decisions. Cynthia explains how our brains can trick us into seeking immediate gratification, leading to poor choices. But don't worry, she's got ten time-tested strategies to help you break this cycle.
Imagine standing still in the moment, understanding control's paradox, and not assuming others' intentions - these are just a few of the techniques she discusses. By incorporating these tools, you can transform your relationships from conflict-ridden to respectful and understanding. Cynthia also touches on how trauma impacts emotions and the crucial role of compassion in recovery. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
