Scott Pinyard on Healing Childhood Trauma with This Naked Mind

And so this program didn't just start me down the road of quitting drinking, although it certainly did that. It started me down the road of like an entire life overhaul.
Have you ever wondered how childhood experiences shape your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'The Bear Comes Home From The Bar', host Terrance Fleming sits down with Scott Pinyard, the head coach of This Naked Mind. They dive into how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress can influence alcohol use and how a compassionate, science-based approach can help break this cycle.
Scott shares how This Naked Mind doesn’t just push for quitting alcohol but encourages understanding the 'why' behind drinking. It's all about meeting people where they are and helping them discover their reasons for change. They touch on the concept of cognitive dissonance in addiction, which is the mental conflict that occurs when your actions don't align with your beliefs, and how this understanding can be pivotal in recovery.
The conversation also highlights the importance of modeling healthy behaviors around alcohol, especially for children who might be watching. Scott emphasizes the role of curiosity and non-judgment in the recovery journey, making it a more humane and approachable process. Scott also opens up about his own path to recovery and discusses the Alcohol Experiment—a simple day break from alcohol to gain new perspectives. His personal story adds a layer of authenticity and hope to the discussion.
If you're looking for insights into breaking free from the shadows of childhood trauma and finding a healthier relationship with alcohol, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about recovery; it's about transformation and understanding that change is possible.
