Outgrowing Addiction: Zach Rhoads on Personal Agency and Recovery
“Personal agency is going to have to be at the forefront of a person's maturing out of an addiction.”
Have you ever wondered if addiction is more about personal choice than a brain disease? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, addiction coach and author Zach Rhoads joins Dr. Michael Edelstein and Tommy Bateman from the REBT Advocates podcast to dive into his latest book, *Outgrowing Addiction: A Common Sense Approach*, co-authored with Dr. Stanton Peele. The conversation takes a fresh look at addiction, challenging the conventional view that it’s purely a brain disorder.
Instead, Rhoads and Peele emphasize personal agency and choice as the keys to overcoming addiction. This episode isn’t just about theories; it’s packed with practical advice. Rhoads discusses how to address addiction in children, understand it as a pattern of behavior, and use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to aid recovery. If you’re looking for actionable tips and a new perspective on addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s perfect for anyone grappling with addiction themselves or supporting a loved one through their recovery journey. Tune in for an engaging discussion that might just change how you think about addiction.
