Description

Often recovery from addiction means we have to let go of the people and places we have known because they become triggers for poor choices and pain in our lives.  If all we have known is addiction it can be difficult, even painful, to begin identifying ourselves outside of that.  In this episode we explore the space between the old life full of pain we have left behind and the new being we are moving towards in the future.  We begin to visualize ourselves in the cocoon stage and think about where we will go once our wings have fully formed.

Mindful Recovery is a podcast devoted to helping individuals who are struggling with trauma and addictions recover. Mindfulness is a research based method for dealing with anxiety and trauma. Psychological and neuroscience studies have found that it is possible to increase the growth of neuronal pathways and retrain our brains in coping with these issues. Basic techniques like learning to pay attention to our own breathing and looking honestly and non-judgmentally at our hurt places can begin to create an emotional holding space that allows us to live without reacting to the pain and begin deciding how we want to act on the world we find ourselves in. This becomes the beginning of recovery and, thus, the beginning of a new and abundant life in recovery. Whether you struggle with anxiety, mental illness, complex trauma, PTSD, addictions or a multitude of other problems, becoming mindful in the way you live is the first step along that path. I would be honored if this podcast could help you begin that journey.
