Mindfulness Over Medication: Tackling Opiate Addiction with Robert Cox

Research is also indicating that mindfulness can help us to regulate and manage pain in a way that lowers our dependence on opiates and thus reduces the risk of addiction.
What if the key to managing pain and addiction lies within your own mind? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Mindful Recovery', host Robert Cox, a seasoned therapist and coach, dives into the pressing issue of opiate addiction, particularly among the elderly. With opiate prescriptions on the rise, many find themselves slipping into dependency, sometimes even turning to heroin as an alternative. But what if there was another way to manage pain without the risk of addiction?
Robert explores how mindfulness can be a powerful tool in regulating pain and reducing the need for opiates. He discusses how our bodies often hold onto emotional trauma, which can manifest as physical pain. By practicing mindfulness and creating a safe emotional space, we can start to address these underlying issues and take control of our pain management.
Robert shares practical techniques like breathing exercises and mindfulness practices that can help listeners create an emotional holding space, allowing them to live more consciously and react less to pain. Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, addiction, or both, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on finding a healthier path forward. Tune in to discover how mindfulness can be a game-changer in your journey to recovery.
