Rethinking Addiction: Emotional Problems Aren't the Cause
You're not caused to behave in any way. There's no third party that can save you.
Are emotional problems really to blame for addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar take a bold stance against the common belief that addiction stems from emotional issues. They argue that addiction isn't a disease and that traditional treatment methods, including rehab and 12-step programs, may not be as effective as we've been led to believe.
Drawing from personal stories and years of research, the hosts dismantle the myths surrounding the disease model of addiction. They highlight the limitations of conventional therapy and recovery programs, offering a fresh perspective that champions personal choice and responsibility. If you're tired of the same old narratives about addiction, this episode provides a thought-provoking alternative that might just change the way you think about recovery.
