The Power of Storytelling to Heal Addiction

Today we have a returning guest, Ted Perkins. Former Hollywood film producer and author. The first time he joined me on the podcast, we talked about his amazing story of recovery and his book, "Addicted in Film: Movies we love about the habits we hate". We talked a lot about the power of storytelling and how we can use movies to connect with wisdom that comes from witnessing others transform.   In this episode we're talking about the new companion workbook called "Recovery Movie Meet-ups". It's backed by the co-founders of SMART Recovery, Harvard Psychiatry Professors and many well respected thought leaders in the addiction recovery space. We will go into detail about how to use the workbook to facilitate group activities and discussions.   But before we jump in, I am pleased to announce the next session of my signature class "Reinvent," a six-week self-esteem class for women that will begin on July 25th. The class is based on the premise that we only allow into our lives what we believe we deserve on a subconscious level. We will use neural plasticity, manifestation techniques, and hypnosis to remove blocks and help you take action that is aligned with your authentic self. The class will help you identify internal blocks that are keeping you feeling stuck and break out of negative behavior patterns. The truth is that you are more powerful than you realize, and I will help you tap into that power so you can create the life you want. To register, just visit selfesteemcourse.com and if you register by July 21, you can bring a friend for free!   So that's it for announcements, and without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Ted   Connect with Ted here: Visit Website: https://www.recoverymoviemeetups.com/   Subscribe So You Don't Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/30g6ALF   Spotify https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   Amazon Music      Watch Full Episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
