Welcome to today’s show!
WHAT WE’LL LEARN:
Dr. Eddie’s path that led to his practice as a Zen Buddhist Why he feels so many people miss out on addiction treatment due to not being able to afford specialized care and what he’s working on to change that Why change based tools (like certain therapies) tend to not work and how acceptance based strategies (e.g.serenity prayer) can work in a world where we have problems we can’t simply change Why lapses or relapses are reflective behaviors and how mindfulness can help How we can use Mindfulness based stress reduction to overcome the experience of craving What is Urge Surfing and how does it help with cravings How Mindfulness changes the mind (not the physical structure) and lays down new tracks in the brain for new associations and to ramp up areas that will inhibit using drugs How Mindfulness can help with changing our reward values and dopaminergic reward system Why it’s important to start a mindfulness practice in these challenging times What Dr. Eddie’s message is to the A.I.R. community
