Michael Oden's Needs-Based Approach to Lasting Sobriety
“Our behavior is driven by our needs...Uncovering our needs and learning a healthy way to meet them is key to long-term sobriety.”
What truly drives our behavior? According to author and life coach Michael Oden, it's our underlying needs. In this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, hosts Nate Larkin and David Hampton sit down with Oden to unpack his needs-based method and its critical role in achieving and maintaining long-term sobriety. Oden dives into how understanding and meeting our needs in a healthy way can transform our journey to sobriety.
He also touches on emotional safety, childhood trauma, and the often-overlooked connection between addiction and co-dependency. One of the standout points in their discussion is 'The Final Step' approach, which emphasizes self-accountability and taking responsibility for one's own needs. This conversation is not just about theory; it's about practical steps you can take to understand your own needs better and meet them in ways that support a sober lifestyle.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights that can make a real difference.
