Breaking Free: Unconventional Paths to Overcoming Addiction and Trauma

There isn’t only one way to overcome addiction, self-loathing, anxiety, or depression. And you should steer clear of any program which says they’re the only way.
Ever felt like traditional recovery programs just aren't cutting it? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner takes a critical look at the limitations of 12-step programs. While these programs have helped many, Bob argues that they can also unintentionally reinforce trauma and limit true freedom. He dives into why relying solely on these methods might not be the best approach for everyone struggling with addiction, depression, or anxiety.
Instead, Bob offers a fresh perspective with some unconventional and slightly quirky methods that have worked for him and many others. From physical alternatives to therapy to embracing your deepest fears, Bob shares how these intense experiences can create new pathways to freedom. If you've ever felt stuck or like traditional methods just aren't working for you, this episode might offer the shake-up you need.
Tune in for a mix of tough love, surprising insights, and a dash of humor as Bob challenges the status quo and encourages you to find your unique path to healing.
