We throw these big terms at people and we never take the time to break it down for the person to understand. If we cannot break things down in order for them to get it, in order for that light bulb to come on in their head, we're doing them a disservice.
Ever wondered how the brain can truly recover from addiction? In this episode of the Elevated Voices Podcast, host Dysheka Bibbs sits down with Eric Gremminger, an author and certified drug and alcohol counselor, to dive deep into the science and heart of addiction recovery. Eric, with his vast expertise, shares crucial insights from his book *Reclaiming the Brain: Activating Sustained Recovery from Addiction*.

Eric emphasizes the power of a strong therapeutic alliance and the need for practitioners to actively listen and use relatable metaphors to help patients grasp intricate concepts. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement for anyone on the recovery journey.
As Eric puts it, 'It's okay to try different things until you get what makes sense to you'. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a blend of scientific understanding and compassionate guidance.
