Mind, Body, and Spirit: Jeanne Foot's Holistic Approach to Healing Trauma

If we got to looking at more of a holistic health model, where we're treating mind, body, spirit, we would actually probably spend lots, because we know that out of the gross domestic product in healthcare in The U S, they spend the most and not necessarily have the best outcomes for want of a better word.
Ever thought about how trauma can ripple through generations? In this engaging episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch chats with Jeanne Foot, an internationally certified addiction counselor and holistic health practitioner. Jeanne believes that everyone is recovering from something, whether it's adverse childhood experiences, mental health issues, substance use disorders, or abuse. Her unique approach involves treating trauma by engaging the mind, body, and spirit, rather than just focusing on symptoms.
Zach and Jeanne dive deep into the concept of intergenerational trauma and discuss why traditional treatment methods often fall short. Jeanne shares her personal journey of recovery through kundalini yoga, shedding light on how this practice has helped her heal from trauma. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and how 'witnessing'—being present and acknowledging one's pain—can be a powerful tool for healing. One of the standout moments in their conversation is the idea of the 'easy button'.
Jeanne explains how addiction often stems from the desire to avoid pain and seek the path of least resistance. However, she reminds us that recovery is a lifelong journey requiring a genuine commitment to change. If you or someone you know is grappling with trauma, addiction, or mental health challenges, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Jeanne's holistic approach provides a fresh perspective on healing, making this a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
