Mindful Recovery — Science
Mindful Recovery

Mindful Recovery is a podcast devoted to helping individuals who are struggling with trauma and addictions. Mindfulness is a research-based method for dealing with anxiety and trauma. Psychological and neuroscience studies have found that it is possible to increase the growth of neuronal pathways and retrain our brains in coping with these issues. Basic techniques like learning to pay attention to our own breathing and looking honestly and non-judgmentally at our broken spaces can begin to create an emotional holding space that allows us to live without reacting to the pain and begin deciding how we want to act on the world we find ourselves in. This becomes the beginning of recovery and, thus, the beginning of a new and abundant life in recovery. Whether you struggle with anxiety, mental illness, complex trauma, PTSD, addictions or a multitude of other problems, becoming mindful is the first step along that path. Here we provide practice, education and support in beginning your journey to healing. In returning to this podcast as of 2/1/25 officially I am still devoted to emotional regulation teaching through mindfulness and am looking forward to sharing the latest research in neuroscience especially concerning trauma and the brain. We will also be having open discussions on this show, that will require courage and decency. This podcast may stir things in you at times and I recommend that if that happens you consider therapy seriously. “We all go through this life and none of us get out alive…..might as well and git the help getting through we can”—Hillbilly Bob

Cultivating compassion in a world of fear Feb 03, 2025

Show notes

In today's world we seem to be navigating (many if not most of us) out of a fear response. Avoidance of percieved (or acutally felt) pain may be our major motivation. Unfortunately, when this is our decision making process we have no advantage over the earthworm. In this episode we practice developing compassion, for self and for others. Even those we heartily disagree with. We will dive into compassion practice in short form and find that healing can be had when we release fear and move into a state of curious compassion. Come join me on the journey inward and a peek into future episodes.

Healing Through Grief Mar 08, 2021

In a continuation of last week's episode and dealing with the grief of a loss, we dive into Kubler Ross's five stages of grief and the non-linearity of that experience. We do a meditation to create a holding space for the emotions that the grief brings and discuss using those stages and the process of grief to create both empathy and change.

The Deep Grief: Surviving the Loss of A Child Mar 01, 2021

Fear and Connection: An Easter Message Mar 30, 2018

Show notes

This Easter has me thinking a lot. I don't normally share that I am a Christian but felt that it was time to step out as we discuss connection. I want to connect with those in the Christian community still driven by fear. Fear of other, fear of war, fear of death, fear of exclusion. Fear is the real enemy that separates us from connection. The real message of Easter is to let go of fear and brave connection.

Anticipatory Grief: Preparing For the Inevitable Loss Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

In the final chapter in our exploration of connection we actually discuss disconnection. Specifically anticipatory grief or the grief we begin experiencing knowing a disconnection is coming. Death, divorce and other forms of disconnection begin affecting us way before we actually experience them and preparing for that event can help us cross the bridge more easily. It will not save us from the pain, but it will insure we meet the loss with eyes wide open and learn what it has to offer. This episode has a personal meaning for me and we discuss how I am crossing this bridge too.
