Peeling Back the Layers: Addiction Treatment Uncovered with Julia Gindi and William Cusack
If we're not willing to see what we cannot see, which is our validity, there will come a point where we'll either be in so much pain that we'll throw up our hands and say what's next, or we'll commit to not wanting to develop who we are and what life is meant to do.
Imagine trying to fix a problem you can't even see. That's the challenge many face in addiction recovery. In this episode of 'The Power to Create Yourself', host Ross Remien sits down with two remarkable guests to tackle this very issue. First, we meet Julia Gindi, a Chemical Dependency Counselor at REBOS. Julia dives into her day-to-day work, helping clients recognize their harmful behaviors.
She shares her methods for breaking through denial and guiding individuals toward that crucial first step: admitting there's a problem. But what happens after that first step? Enter William Cusack, a Spiritual Counselor who brings a different angle to the table. William discusses the role of spirituality in recovery, emphasizing its value in achieving lasting change. He talks about the practices he uses with his clients and the incredible transformations he's witnessed.
Throughout the episode, Ross, Julia, and William stress the importance of connection and support in the healing process. They also highlight the impact of addiction not just on the individual, but on their loved ones too. The conversation covers everything from the dangers of artificial emotions to finding one's personal rhythm for success.
One of the standout moments comes from William, who says, 'If we're not willing to see what we cannot see, which is our validity, there will come a point where we'll either be in so much pain that we'll throw up our hands and say what's next, or we'll commit to not wanting to develop who we are and what life is meant to do'. It's a powerful reminder of the stakes involved in addiction recovery.
