We're helping patients build awareness of their emotional states in the moment, how to be present, using mindfulness, as we talked about before, with those emotional states, so much so that they can free themselves to make a choice based on the kind of person they want to be in that moment.
Why do people continue harmful habits even when they know the consequences? This episode of Recovery Radio tackles this puzzling question with the help of Dr. Brian Berman, a licensed psychologist at Retreat Behavioral Health. Dr. Berman shares his expertise on the psychology behind addiction, offering a fascinating look into why individuals struggle to break free from substance abuse.
He introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a promising approach to recovery, focusing on mindfulness and the importance of understanding one’s emotional state. By emphasizing the need to clarify personal values and validate experiences, Dr. Berman provides practical tools for those on the path to sobriety. Whether you’re battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for a brighter future.
