Lots of people believe that habits and addictions result from emotional problems like depression, anxiety, loneliness or troubled relationships. The data strongly suggested that habits and addictions primarily result from the intense human desire to gratify our cravings and not because of the problems in our lives.
Ever wondered if there's a way to manage those overpowering cravings and urges that come with addiction? In this episode of the 'Red Roof Recovery Show', host Tonya Mcintyre sits down with Dr. David Burns to uncover the transformative power of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in overcoming addictions. Dr. Burns dives into practical techniques like exposure therapy and shame-attacking exercises, offering listeners actionable steps to tackle their habits head-on.
He emphasizes that many addictions stem from a desire for instant gratification rather than deep-seated emotional issues. By reshaping thoughts and behaviors, individuals can find the motivation to abstain from problematic substances and behaviors. This episode is packed with valuable tools and strategies, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Tune in to gain insights that could make a real difference in your journey toward a healthier, addiction-free life.
