In this episode, we explore groundbreaking approaches to substance use disorder, mental health and trauma with Dr. Carrie Wilkens, founder of Center for Motivation and Change (CMC), award-winning author, and a psychologist with over 25 years of experience in the practice and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for substance use and post-traumatic stress. Dr. Wilkens champions a compassionate, evidence-based methodology that challenges traditional treatment paradigms. She emphasizes individual needs, advocating for non-confrontational approaches at the intersection of science and kindness.

Dr. Wilkens delves into the profound influence of trauma on personal narratives and shares strategies to confront and conquer its effects. We also address the urgent need for societal dialogue reform surrounding these critical issues, impacting millions of individuals and families. 
This was a fascinating and refreshing conversation with an expert clinician willing to challenge outdated ideas about treatment and recovery modalities. 
Please join in as we delve into innovative solutions at the intersection of science and kindness.
