Mindfulness and Addiction: Transforming Recovery One Breath at a Time

With mindfulness, because you're learning how to pay attention in the current moment without judgment, without trying to push it away, but also not going with it, but just being curious about what's there, you're able to start to see the beginning stages of the craving as it builds...
Can mindfulness really change the way we approach addiction recovery? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods dives deep with Dr. Zev Schuman-Olivier, an addiction psychiatrist with a knack for mindfulness. They chat about how being present in the moment can make a world of difference in managing cravings and preventing relapse. Dr. Schuman-Olivier introduces listeners to the Rain technique, a practical tool for dealing with those pesky urges.
He also sheds light on the brain's response to mindfulness and how it can reduce suffering. But it's not all smooth sailing; they discuss the potential pitfalls of meditation without proper guidance. If you're curious about how mindfulness can play a role in addiction recovery, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice.
