#14 Mental Recovery

In general, we have a tendency to make a lot of assumptions about a variety of issues. We think we know all there is to know about using drugs or how our minds work.

Mental recovery can be very hard to achieve.

Using the experiences of freediving as a metaphor, I look at how closely it parallels mental processes and recovery from entrenched belief systems. How placing ourselves in hostile environments impacts on our survival instincts.

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I enjoyed the discussion.

This podcast was recorded as a series of lectures given to people in 12 step addiction recovery treatment. The purpose of these talks was to teach and motivate individuals to search for their own spiritual solution to their addiction.
