So the three positions of the flipping are: if we consider a sort of a needle on a gauge, we would say that if the needle's pointing straight upwards, that is a perfectly balanced position, and what we mean by balanced is that you are perfectly able to choose between self-care and care for others, depending on the situation.
Ever wondered why not everyone becomes a reverse addict, even if they have similar backgrounds? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Alternative To Rehab', Dave Cooper dives deep into the fascinating differences between the addict brain and the so-called normal brain. He doesn't just stop there; he also unpacks the concept of 'self-centered escape' and introduces the three crucial positions of balance—how we can swing from one extreme to another in our self-care and care for others.
Dave's approach is both scientific and empathetic, making complex ideas easy to grasp. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how understanding these dynamics can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life. By examining these extremes and finding that sweet spot of balance, Dave helps listeners navigate their journey from addiction to reverse addiction.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and deep understanding, aimed at anyone seeking a holistic approach to recovery.
