NAKED - Changing the Face of Addiction Tamar Powers

Perception is a funny thing. It can either create your reality or it can tear it apart. It just depends on how you choose to see things. It can make you go blind, or it can give you sight, the choice is up to you.

Today we will be discussing the difficult topics of guilt and shame and taking the power right out of these feelings. Because that’s just exactly what they are, feelings and nothing more.

In this episode we’ll explore the neuroscience behind habits and the reasons for them. I will prove to you that through repetition and persistence, all that’s required to overcome addiction is to change your habits and behaviors.

Today’s episode is two-fold because I actually have a couple of things I want to talk about, anonymity and awareness. In this episode I’m gonna talk to you about the bizarre belief of anonymity as it pertains to sobriety, and how we are taught to keep our sobriety hidden from the rest of the world and only share it with this “secret society” called Alcoholics Anonymous. Secret, secret, secret! Haven’t we spent enough time living a secret life of shame and guilt inside a world of addiction? Enough already!!

In this episode we'll be talking about the most powerful tool used in addiction treatment today, the power of suggestion, and its role in developing the type of mindset we choose to behold. 

I’ve touched a little on how society and treatment centers have normalized relapse as a part of someone’s recovery in my previous episodes but today I’d like to dig a little deeper into this lie and tear it apart limb by limb
