Anya Hill, a licensed PA who has made a career in medical addiction treatment, joined us to continue the discussion we started in episode 4. Today Anya dove deeper into tools to help handle urges that play in to addiction. From breathing techniques, to differences in how you react to information you learn about yourself, to self care. This is a discussion with someone who has significant medical knowledge of addiction, but in no way meant as a medical diagnosis or treatment plan. When speaking about addiction, it is wildly helpful to listen to someone with Anya's level of experience, and learn how she personally addresses the feelings and triggers that accompany addiction. As Adam and I preach, do not use any podcast or youtube video or TV show as a replacement for seeking care directed specifically for you, by a trained provider. However, this discussion is filled with great information, and is a great starting point for anyone who is suffering from any type of addiction to begin their journey to wellness.
