Releasing Addiction: Adriana Popescu and Dawson Church in Conversation

Adriana Popescu, PhD, is Chief Clinical Officer at Avery Lane recovery center in Novato, California, and the author of EFT for Addiction. As well as working directly with clients, she provides coaching and mentorship for the Avery Lane clinicians and leadership team. In her practice as a psychologist, she has treated a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and grief. Research into Avery Lane’s results has shown that Adriana’s energy psychology methods produce much larger reductions in symptoms and relapse than traditional treatment programs.   Here she and Dawson discuss: Adriana's background Discovering EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Using The Prochaska Stages of Change Model to determine readiness to change The importance of numerical assessment of symptoms Partnering with Vista Research to collect data using standardized instruments Assessments of patients in addiction treatment programs The fight flight freeze response The limitations of traditional talk therapy How tapping calms the nervous system The way EFT can reach the brain through the connective tissue and calms the amygdala How to apply tapping with someone in the throes of an addiction craving Tapping on being willing and open to change Tapping on specific cravings with addiction treatment   Find Adriana at: https://www.adrianapopescu.org/ And to purchase EFT for Addiction: https://www.amazon.com/EFT-Addiction-Adriana-Popescu-PhD/dp/1604153164/   Connect with Dawson at: http://dawsongift.com/   To purchase Dawson the 20th Anniversary Edition of The Genie in Your Genes:  https://www.amazon.com/Genie-Your-Genes-Epigenetic-Consciousness/dp/1604153202/   #mindtomatter #blissbrain #spiritualintelligence #eft #meditation #highenergyhealth #emotionalhealing #genieinyourgenes #trauma #addiction #eftforaddiction #energypsychology
