It's really teaching an individual how to experience, kind of like exposure to that emotion, but at the same time calming the mind and the body together down, at the same time, which creates this new imprint on the body that, hey, we're experiencing this, but we actually don't have to, you know, react in this sabotaging way. So this form of therapy helps to allow that.
Ever feel like your mind is constantly racing, leaving you stressed and overwhelmed? Imagine if there was a way to slow down, breathe, and find some peace amidst the chaos. In this episode of 'Addiction Today', host Russ Morley sits down with Amanda Mossing, a therapist specializing in addiction recovery and mindfulness practices, to explore how mindfulness can be a game-changer for those battling addiction. Mindfulness isn't just about sitting in silence; it's about being fully present in the moment.
Mossing explains how this practice can help individuals experience their emotions without reacting destructively. Think of it like learning to floss your mind – a skill that improves with time and practice. The conversation dives into the science behind mindfulness and its benefits for addiction recovery. By incorporating practices like yoga, meditation, and breathwork, individuals can calm their nervous systems and manage stress more effectively.
Mossing shares how being present can help people cope with uncomfortable feelings without turning to harmful coping mechanisms like drugs or alcohol. But it doesn't stop there. The episode also highlights how mindfulness is making its way into schools and recovery centers as a powerful tool for stress management. Teachers are being trained to pass these techniques on to students, and many recovery programs are weaving mindfulness into their curriculums.
If you're curious about how mindfulness can support your journey to sobriety or help a loved one, this episode is packed with practical advice and expert insights. Tune in and discover how slowing down and being present can pave the way to a healthier, more balanced life.
