I'm not even talking about, you know, the severe mental health disorders, I'm just talking about the discomfort and the longstanding you know, be it trauma, stress, anxiety, depression- that they've been struggling with and they've been using the substances as a band-aid for those sorts of things.
Imagine being weighed down by labels and expectations that prevent you from reaching your true potential. This episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' tackles just that. Host Mary Woods is joined by Dr. Adi Yaffe and co-host Kevin Keefe to explore how shame and stigma can derail recovery from addiction and mental health issues. They dive into how clinical diagnoses and societal expectations often act as barriers rather than bridges to healing. Dr.
Yaffe emphasizes the need for a personalized approach to treatment, one that takes into account the unique symptoms, strengths, and weaknesses of each individual. By discussing cognitive biases like the Expectancy Effect and Stereotype Threat, they shed light on how these biases exacerbate feelings of shame in recovery settings. If you've ever felt trapped by negative labels or know someone who has, this episode offers a fresh perspective on overcoming these hurdles.
It's a compelling conversation that challenges traditional methods and advocates for a more compassionate, individualized approach to care. Tune in to rethink how we view addiction and mental health treatment.
