  • Summary

  • The third in a series of four, this episode is about ways to approach the mind more effectively in order to increase a person's chances for maintaining sobriety long-term. Dr. Swartz & Dr. Andres discuss questions like: can the mind be made into a positive force for a person's recovery? in what way does the mind maintain addiction by justifying a dominant narrative? in what way does the mind slow or complicate recovery when it holds onto baseless ideas strongly, which some clients show an aversion to questioning? how can mindfulness help a person recover, and is mindfulness another part of the mind or is it more closely related to the spiritual part of a person? in what ways does group therapy help combat the negative impact of Mind? how might psychodrama help a client recognize and change the mental aspects that sustain recovery more quickly or reliably?
