Healing Through Play: The Role of Recreation Therapy in Addiction Recovery
“Recreation therapy bridges the gap from experience to clinical, it also bridges the gap from clinical to real life.”
Imagine finding a way to heal that feels more like play than therapy. That's the essence of recreation therapy, and in this episode of Recovery Soapbox, Erica Yaeger, Jamie Bennett, and Will Lindsay dive into what makes this approach so unique. They break down what recreation therapy is (and isn't), sharing how it can be a game-changer in the journey to sobriety.
You'll hear about the different techniques used, from physical activities to creative arts, and why it's crucial to back these methods with solid evidence and data. Erica, Jamie, and Will also discuss the future of the profession and why advocacy is essential to its growth. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on healing that might just make you see therapy in a whole new light.
