Are you tired of the same old approach to addiction recovery? This episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' challenges everything you thought you knew about addiction. Hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Sheeran, co-founders of The Freedom Model, argue that addiction is not a disease and that traditional treatments like 12-step programs and rehab might actually lower your chances of overcoming addiction. Instead, they offer a practical, no-nonsense method that doesn't involve meetings, steps, or recovery programs.
It's all about changing your beliefs and habits through self-directed learning and coaching. Michelle and Mark dive into the misconceptions surrounding recovery coaching, contrasting it with their unique approach which focuses on empowering individuals to make their own choices. They explain how their model is based on research and real-life observations, not myths or unproven theories. The hosts also discuss the importance of understanding the perceived benefits of addictive behaviours and how to debunk these beliefs to move forward.
With a mix of humour and straightforward talk, this episode is a refreshing take on addiction recovery that could change the way you think about getting sober. So, if you're ready to break free from the recovery trap and find an easier, softer way to solve addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
