Can a non-traditional path to alcohol recovery be more effective than established methods? Join us on the Gaslit Truth Podcast as Jen and Dr. Teralyn break the ice with a lively chat about their quirky outfits and playful brand endorsement dreams leading to a heartwarming discussion about her husband's unconventional recovery journey. This episode sets out to challenge deeply ingrained beliefs about addiction and recovery, showing how personal experiences can influence professional insights.

As we shift gears, we tackle the emotional and intricate topic of addiction from both personal and professional angles. We highlight the shortcomings of traditional treatment programs and stress the importance of being open to alternative perspectives. By sharing our stories and expertise, we aim to call attention to the need for better, more effective solutions that go beyond just completing a program. We also critique the damaging stigma that paints addiction as an unchangeable life sentence, advocating for a more compassionate and understanding approach.

Finally, we dissect the criteria for alcohol use disorders and make thought-provoking comparisons with the use of prescription medications like Lexapro and Zoloft. We shed light on the often-overlooked patterns of misuse and the societal pressures to "white knuckle" through withdrawal. This episode is a call to rethink how addiction is perceived and treated, emphasizing the need for a broader, less judgmental perspective. Make sure to stay tuned for part two, where we'll dive even deeper into these critical discussions and uncover the missing pieces in the narrative around addiction and recovery.

🚨 Take it from two Whistle-Blowing Shrinks: The phrase "once an addict, always an addict" is manipulative and hinders true healing. 

Traditional addiction treatment often relies heavily on cognitive and psychiatric interventions, shaming practices, and labels that stick for life, missing out on functional and integrative medicine approaches. 

🌱 Join Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we challenge conventional views and explore the truth about addiction as a neurochemical process that requires a different kind of treatment.
