It's just something special about interacting with horses.
Imagine the ripple effect of addiction, not just on the individual but on their entire family. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Keats Kommisar, a seasoned expert in addiction recovery, to unpack the intricate web of family dynamics that addiction weaves. Keats, who began his own recovery journey in 1989 and has been in the field since 2007, shares his deep knowledge and personal experiences, making this conversation both insightful and relatable.
Keats delves into the often-overlooked aspects of addiction treatment, such as codependency and family of origin issues. He emphasizes the importance of trauma education and how understanding these elements can be crucial for effective recovery. The episode touches on various therapeutic approaches, including experiential therapies that incorporate unique methods like interacting with horses to foster healing. One of the standout moments is when Keats discusses the significance of self-esteem and boundaries in the recovery process.
He also highlights how men, in particular, might struggle with seeking help, sometimes finding their behavior more problematic than the substance abuse itself. This candid discussion aims to shed light on the broader impacts of addiction and offers practical insights for those navigating these challenges. Listeners will find this episode both engaging and hopeful, filled with real-life stories and expert advice that can resonate with anyone affected by addiction.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, Keats' wisdom and Zach's thoughtful questions provide a deeper understanding of how to heal together.
