Ever wondered why it's so hard to break free from harmful habits? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', Mark Sheeran and Michelle Dunbar tackle the big question: 'Why Am I So Resistant to Changing?' They explore how comfort and routine can make it difficult to let go of negative behaviours, even when we know they're bad for us.
Mark and Michelle share their personal experiences and offer practical tips to help you overcome this resistance and embrace positive change. Mark explains that the fear of change often stems from the effort required to alter our physical and mental routines. Whether it's quitting drinking, leaving a toxic relationship, or changing jobs, the process can be daunting.
Michelle adds that the comfort of habit can make us feel stuck, but breaking down these habits into manageable steps can make the transition smoother. The duo also debunks common myths about addiction treatment. They argue that addiction is not a disease and that traditional rehab and 12-step programmes may actually hinder recovery. Instead, they advocate for a more individualised approach that separates substance use issues from other life problems.
Throughout the episode, you'll find a mix of humour and serious advice, making it both engaging and informative. Mark and Michelle's candid discussions provide a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery, challenging conventional wisdom and offering new paths to freedom.
