As CAAs we are highly susceptible to the risks and triggers of substance use disorder. In my 5 part in-person course I teach my anesthesia students how connection is the opposite of addiction. This whole body breathing practice will help you connect to your own body as a whole. Connecting  and further accepting our whole true selves is step 1 in the prevention of substance use in our profession. I hope this episode brings a somewhat abstract concept into focus and gives you clarity on how finding connection within yourself is possible.
