What's up folks!  This was a super fun episode.  I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with my buddy Tim Sinnott about Positive Psychology.  Pos Psychology is a very effective tool and I just love its overall perspective.  Tim covers the 5 fundamentals of it and their role in a clinical setting.  Tim is an LMFT and LAADC-r, as well as the clinical director at Elevate.#mindfulness #addicitonrecovery #holistic #positivepsychology #psychology  To get in touch with Tim: tsinnott@elevaterehab.orgTo get in touch with Jeremy: jmiller@elevaterehab.orgFor more on Elevate:www.elevaterehab.orgFor more on Northern California's Premier Addiction Conference: www.modality2019.com

On this week's episode I sat down and got Mindful with Santa Cruz native, Joe Clements.  Joe talks about vulnerability, being who you really are, and using present time awareness to soften difficult emotions, mind states, and situations.  Joe's perspective is incredibly unique and humble.  Sometimes with Mindfulness and meditation it can feel out of our reach.  Joe's attitude and practice are what he calls "street level dharma" wherein he offers tools and strategies to practice Mindfulness in every day life.  Using Mindfulness and meditation in an addiction recovery setting is extremely beneficial and I love what he says about what it offers people in recovery.  Joe Clements has been facilitating his Mindfulness Based Recovery Groups for years at various treatment programs in Northern California.  He facilities both client and STAFF groups at Elevate and the results have been phenomenal.  He's gearing up to launch his own podcast and YouTube so we'll be sure to keep you all posted, how exciting!#mindfulness #addicitonrecovery #holistic Fore more on Joe Clements (instagram)@_joe.clements_For more on Elevate:www.elevaterehab.orgFor more on Northern California's Premier Addiction Conference: www.modality2019.com 

On this week's episode Lindsay and I dive deep into the role fitness can play in addiction recovery.  We talk about the importance of setting manageable goals, checking your ego at the door, and the corollary between mental gains and physical gains.  Her role as fitness director allows her to incorporate holistic healing and body work to a clinical setting, offering people a chance to work out as much as they work IN. Lindsey is a level two crossfit coach and has been in the health and fitness field for nearly a decade.  She's currently pursuing her masters degree in Counseling Psychology and is incredibly passionate about helping people overcome difficulties in their lives.  For more on Elevate Addiction Services:www.elevaterehab.orgFor more on Northern California's Premier Addiction Conference:www.modality2019.com  

On our very first episode of the show we sat down with author and founder of Conscious Recovery, TJ Woodward.  We discussed the role of spiritual disconnection, toxic shame, and unresolved trauma in addiction and how language can play a role in healing these things.  TJ sheds light on the role of the observer and how a simple shift in clinical perspective can drastically improve results.  TJ is an award winning recovery coach, facilitator, innovator, author and public speaker.  Please find him on the web at www.tjwoodward.com or www.consciousrecovery.comFor more on Elevate Addiction Services find us at www.elevaterehab.org For more on changing the narrative recovery and the only Northern California holistic drug and alcohol conference, check us out at www.modality2019.com
