Addiction Recovery & How it Takes a New Experience to Change the Old Belief

On The Sober Shaman Podcast this week, we take a fresh look at the work the we perform within Lesson #4: Definitions: Medicine - Part 2.We start with an online back-and-forth between myself and an MD about the basics: what medicine is and what medicine is not.For me, medicine absolutely is something that encompasses approaches beyond what he proposed as outside agents, such as pills, and procedures, such as surgery. Specifically, this Lesson shows how awareness, experience, connection and practice are four examples of this - and how each directly applies to a particular aspect of the whole person.Next, I provide two client cases of how the medicine of experience is applied in addiction treatment. I have a saying…It takes a new experience to change an old beliefIn these examples, we show how a conscious, connecting, new experience that is put into practice, is the exact medicine to transform the old, outdated limiting core beliefs that lie at the core of an addiction.Links referenced in this episode:thesobershaman.com
