Therapy is often seen as a go-to solution for emotional struggles tied to substance use, but is it always the best route? In this episode of The Addiction Solution, hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Sheeran question the conventional wisdom surrounding therapy in addiction recovery. They delve into the historical roots of therapy, its perceived limitations, and why it might not be the universal remedy it's often made out to be.

By reframing perspectives and embracing discomfort, individuals can discover their own paths to happiness and fulfillment.
