The Goodman Approach: Redefining Recovery with Empowerment and Enjoyment

Alcoholics Anonymous creates a psychological state known as learned helplessness, and the reason why the Goodman approach does not endorse AA is first and foremost because it is not medical treatment.
Tired of the same old 12-step programs that leave you feeling stuck? This episode of 'Safe Recovery' might just be what you're looking for. Host Monica Richardson chats with Matthew Leichter about the Goodman Approach, a fresh alternative to traditional recovery methods. Leichter, who struggled with addiction and found AA lacking, decided to create something new—something that blends the social aspects of AA with proven alternative healing techniques. The Goodman Approach isn't just about quitting; it's about thriving.
From tackling addiction and mental health issues to addressing obesity and domestic violence, this program covers it all. Leichter's method emphasizes empowerment and creating a life you actually enjoy, steering clear of the learned helplessness often associated with AA. With recommendations like therapy, vocational rehab, and mindfulness practices, the Goodman Approach offers a holistic path to recovery. The episode also dives into the darker side of 12-step meetings, highlighting the need for safer, more empowering recovery environments.
If you're seeking a different way to heal or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.
