Feeling stuck on the path to recovery? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes has your back in this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast'.

Dr. Snipes shares practical tools and techniques that counselors, coaches, and companions can use to help clients find their inner drive. She emphasizes the importance of tailoring motivational strategies to fit each person's unique needs and circumstances.
You'll hear about the different stages of change—preparation, contemplation, and action—and how to navigate them effectively. Dr. Snipes also tackles the common obstacles that can derail progress, such as inner resistance and lack of accountability. She offers insights into how mental and environmental factors play a role in motivation, and how to address them to foster sustainable change.
One standout point is her discussion on addiction and numbing behaviors, highlighting how reducing stress, managing physical pain, and improving sleep and nutrition are crucial for long-term success. As she wisely notes, 'Change causes crisis and crisis causes change'. This episode is packed with actionable advice that can make a real difference for anyone on the journey to recovery.
