Episode Overview
- Addiction as an attempt to make things better and escape internal pain
- Emphasis on spiritual and cultural roots of addiction and trauma's impact
- Advocacy for moving away from managing effects to addressing causation
- Importance of understanding the conditioned mind and finding stillness for healing
- Martin's role as a drug and alcohol counselor and available services
In previous broadcasts, I talked about the stillness of the mind where the healing occurs, how we bring our hurt, our pain, whatever it is, to the stillness of the mind. And in that stillness, releasing of the false perceptions occurs. There is a lot written and spoken about this stillness and the healing effect.
Ever feel like addiction is just a way to escape the pain inside? Roland Martin, a seasoned drug and alcohol counselor, dives into this very idea in 'The Nature of Addiction' on Native Addiction Healing. He argues that addictive behaviors are often desperate attempts to make things better, driven by a need to find relief from internal suffering. But what if the key to healing lies in understanding the mind's conditioned state and seeking stillness?
Martin doesn't just stop at the symptoms; he digs into the spiritual and cultural roots of addiction, exploring how trauma shapes our behaviors. This episode is a blend of deep insights and practical advice, perfect for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. You'll walk away with a better understanding of why addiction happens and how finding inner peace can be a game-changer on the road to recovery.
