Being truly free is when you don't have a recovery construct, holding you back from life.
Ever wondered how trauma and addiction are really connected? In this episode of The Addiction Solution Podcast, Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren from The Freedom Model dive into this complex relationship. They tackle the widespread belief that trauma is the main cause of addiction and challenge the notion that addiction is a lifelong disease. Instead, they argue that addiction is a temporary issue and that substances affect the body but not the brain's ability to process trauma.
They also discuss the limitations of 12-step programs and traditional recovery methods, advocating for a more individualized approach. By addressing these taboo topics with honesty, Michelle and Mark aim to equip listeners with the knowledge and tools to take control of their lives and move beyond addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the real factors behind addiction and seeking practical advice on overcoming it.
