Untangling Addiction: Simplifying Substance Use with The Freedom Model
“The reason people, if you're somebody and you're like it, can't be that simple. It can't be as simple as I have a choice and I interpret things and look at habits are what they are, and they can be really difficult to break. What you're doing is you're looking for it.”
Have you ever felt like the conversation around addiction is just too complicated? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren strip away the confusion and myths that often surround addiction and substance use. They argue that addiction isn't a disease and challenge the effectiveness of traditional 12-step programs. Instead, they suggest that overthinking and the treatment industry's narratives can keep people stuck in a cycle of dependence.
By examining the placebo effect and the power of thoughts in addiction, they offer a straightforward perspective on how to break free from these mental traps. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to cut through the noise and find a clearer path to overcoming substance use issues.
