I find it absolutely fascinating. Because, yeah, we, that's what we were thinking as well. And you know, I have approached some of those companies and said, you know, yeah, okay, we're working for your sales marketing, promotion, you know, what are you doing for learning and development?
Ever wondered how animation can help tackle serious issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction? In this episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Dana Michael Krull chats with Quint Boa, a British writer, producer, director, and psychotherapist. Quint, who has been sober for eight years, shares his journey of nearly drinking himself into serious trouble and how he turned his life around.
They dive into the often-overlooked problem of corporate denial of alcohol issues in the workforce and the fascinating intersection of psychology and neuroscience in addiction research. Quint's unique approach involves using animation to bypass our usual mental defenses. He explains how animated shorts can speak directly to our subconscious, making it easier to address complex emotions and traumas. This method is particularly effective for children, who may struggle to articulate their feelings.
The discussion also touches on the importance of self-love and self-care in recovery, emphasizing that connection is crucial for staying sober. Quint envisions a future where animation plays a significant role in mental health care, potentially revolutionizing how we treat these issues. If you're curious about innovative ways to address mental health challenges or are seeking fresh perspectives on recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
