If we are feeling safe, our entire internal physiology shifts away from stress and towards calmness, and where there is calmness, healing can happen.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in feeling safe? In this insightful episode, host Jeff Simone dives into Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, exploring how our sense of safety can be a game-changer in addiction recovery. Jeff explains that when we feel safe, our body's internal systems shift from stress to calm, creating the perfect environment for healing.
On the flip side, a constant state of internal chaos can hinder recovery, no matter how hard someone tries to stay sober. This episode sheds light on why feeling secure is crucial for those dealing with trauma and addiction. Jeff also touches on the importance of cognitive awareness, social connections, and even the tone of our voice in fostering a supportive recovery environment.
If you're curious about the science behind addiction recovery and want to understand how creating a sense of safety can pave the way for lasting change, this episode is a must-listen.
