How do you overcome addiction in yourself? How do you help those you love who are stuck in addiction? Lisa Boucher shares her story of overcoming alcoholism and helping others find freedom and healing.  About Lisa Boucher Author and speaker Lisa Boucher has devoted the last several decades helping women to recover from alcoholism, and as life changes so have her mission. The one common denominator she's noticed when interacting with others out in the world is that people in general struggle to trust Jesus and let go of the things in their lives that they can't control. It's with that thought in mind that the Lord led her to find the prayer of King Jehoshaphat that prompted her to write, Pray. Trust. Ride: Lessons on Surrender from a Cowgirl and a King, in hopes it would help others to lean on God and let go of those things in our lives that strangle our hearts and keep us up at night.

Lisa Boucher is a RN, cowgirl and author. She is also 33 years sober and has much life experience on how to lean on God through the difficult spaces in our lives.  In Pray. Trust. Ride. Lisa encourages relaxers in the throes of some of life's toughest trials to stay in the saddle and ride through life with a looser rein and trusting God.    King Jehoshaphat understood that when he was boxed in by his enemy. At his most vulnerable moment, he leaned on God and let go of the outcome. Using this approach as her guiding principle, Lisa shares in this helpful guide how to lean on spiritual principles, surrender control, live with less anxiety and 'ride more freely'.    You can connect with Lisa here” https://lisaboucherauthor.com/   You can purchase a copy of her book here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NNG49F9/ref=nosim?tag=da2he-20   Special Announcements:    I want to personally invite you to join me and my guest Amie Rogers, for a workshop this coming weekend to “Discover Your Sphere” on Saturday February 25, 2023 from 11AM-1PM Eastern There is is still to register at the Early Bird Special Pricing before it goes up January 31, 2023.

Hello and welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher energy practitioner and author of my newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening and am delighted to welcome Lisa Boucher author of Raising the Bottom to discuss best ways to […] The post Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

When we feel most vulnerable and at the end of ourselves, those are times when we try to take control and fix the situations in our lives ourselves. That's not always a good thing. Friday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Lisa Boucher encourages us to stay in the saddle and ride through life with a looser rein. In the Scriptures, King Jehoshaphat understood that when he was boxed in by his enemy--at his most vulnerable moment, he leaned on God and let go of the outcome. Letting go allows us to accept that we can’t solve all our problems; we can’t save others from themselves; we can’t stop the inevitable from happening. What we can do is let go and trust that God has the answer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season five of our podcast continues with another presentation from our 2020 annual conference: ‘Engaged Phenomenology’ Online. This episode features Michael Fitzgerald, Bruyère Research Institute. Fitzgerald’s co-authors are Esther Shoemaker, Simon Fraser University; Lisa Boucher, University of Ottawa; Claire Kendall, Bruyère Research Institute.   ABSTRACT: This paper draws on Husserl’s notions of epoché and phenomenological reduction to interpret patient engagement in research. The epoché suspends or bracket naturalistic assumptions about the existence of the world, so as to allow phenomenological inquiry to focus on meaning or significance. Phenomenological reduction to the life-world, in turn, functions to restore the significance of the concrete world of basic life, i.e., to allow the phenomenologist access to the structures of meaning that are the basis for all inquiry (Luft 2004). In particular, it suspends the assumptions of the positive sciences. Patient engagement in research is an approach that includes patients and caregivers as partners on the research team. Arguably, this approach has become the standard for a wide variety, if not all, types of health research, driven in part by funding agency imperatives. Studies of this approach have argued that the significance of and motivation for engaging patients can be understood in terms of three sets of values: “moral or normative (e.g., empowerment and rights), instrumental or substantive (e.g., improving research quality), and process (e.g., having to do with research conduct)” (Kendall et al. 2018). However, further investigation is needed into the impact of patient engagement in research, and in particular how it affects health researchers’ own understanding of their research activities, exploration of which has so far been limited (Staley 2015; 2017). This paper proposes a phenomenological approach, in which patient engagement is seen as a transformation of research. We suggest that patient engagement in research can function as an epoché or even a type of reduction, by challenging researchers’ assumptions about the process of research. As with the life-world reduction, this can be seen as a way of resituating health research in the life-world, so as to expand and deepen its meaning and significance.   BIOS:    Michael Fitzgerald, Research Associate, Bruyère Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada, is a social phenomenologist with expertise in the phenomenology of international development. He works on projects on patient engagement, intersectionality and social accountability.   Esther Shoemaker, Postdoctoral Fellow, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, and Affiliated Scientist, Bruyère Research Institute, is a medical sociologist and early career researcher with sex- and gender-based mixed methods expertise in health services delivery for marginalized populations.   Lisa Boucher, PhD candidate in Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Ottawa, has expertise in participatory research approaches and both quantitative and qualitative methods. Her projects focus on highly marginalized populations, especially people who use illicit drugs.   Claire Kendall, a primary care physician and Clinical Scientist, Bruyère Research Institute and Associate Professor, University of Ottawa, where she is also Assistant Dean, Social Accountability, has expertise in health services research, cohort and administrative data linkages, systematic reviews, participatory approaches, qualitative research and practice-based interventions, with strong links to policy makers in primary care of marginalized populations.   This recording is taken from the BSP Annual Conference 2020 Online: 'Engaged Phenomenology'.

Lisa Boucher’s career is anything but predictable. After a few short stints training polo horses and working as a flight attendant, a hairdresser, and a bartender, she decided to become a nurse—a profession she’s spent the past 29 years in, helping hundreds of people overcome alcoholism. Her fifth book, Raising the Bottom, is her response to traditional healthcare’s inability to offer genuine help to most people struggling with addiction. About Guest/Topic The first time Lisa encountered betrayal, it took the form of a mother too deep in the bottle to provide guidance or support. Over the course of her life, she would struggle with betrayals as well as the unhealthy things she did to cope: drinking, drugs, and keeping the painfully familiar company of other addicts. Yet another harsh betrayal—this time from her husband—finally got Lisa to stop sleepwalking through life. In this episode, Lisa talks about how betrayal and addiction beget each other and, more importantly, the principles and methods that helped her break that cycle. In This Episode How betrayal and addiction are linked to each other Rethinking what self-care means Understanding and avoiding patterns that lead to betrayal and addiction Revisiting the twelve principles for overcoming addiction Quotes “We feel good about ourselves by doing the next right thing for us. And that is self-care. I kind of get annoyed with the self-care of soaking in a bathtub—that never worked for me. I need to do something.” 13:03 “That is the worst thing you can do… To stay in your head. Get out of your head. Get out of yourself. They say depression is anger turned inward.”14:34 “Maladjusted emotions are why most people self-medicate… So in order to recover or find other healthier coping skills, you’ve got to dig deep and find some willingness to learn other coping skills.”16:30 “That is what drives behavior: pride, ego, fear. You get rid of those three things and people find a new life.” 21:51 Resources Mentioned Raising the Bottom (Book) Raising the Bottom (Facebook group) Post-Betrayal Syndrome QuizThe PBT Institute Group: Women Hacking Betrayal

This episode Jo and Paula are talking to Lisa Boucher about co-dependency. This is a very large topic to discuss and affects most people that have lived with someone's drinking. When people are co-dependent, their focus is on the drinker, much like the drinker's focus is on the alcohol. The parallels between the drinker and the family can be seen in lots of ways. The discussion will cover what co-dependency is and how family members can so easily get caught up in it. As well as that, Jo, Paula and LIsa will be looking at those parallels, how it impacts on adult life and the family members after the drinker has sought recovery. Lisa Boucher, Author of the Multi-Award Winning book, Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture. As a recovering alcoholic, she has been sober for thirty-one years and understands the complex nature of addiction and how childhood trauma is often at the root of what ails us. A registered nurse, Lisa believes that traditional healthcare does little to incorporate the mind-body connection, nor does our current culture appreciate the healing power of nature. https://www.amazon.com/author/lisaboucher If you'd like to feel connected in a safe place with others just like you, join the Daughters of Alcoholics Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/daughtersofalcoholics Sometimes you just need to speak to someone, if you want a chat with Jo about something you're struggling with, click here to book a call: https://cozycal.com/joannehuey42 In the meantime, you can have a look at this brochure that answers and explains some of the basics of dealing with a drinker.

You will learn what alcoholism does to the liver, the immune system, the kidneys and more. Did you know that alcohol travels to the front section of the brain and can affect our decision making. Lisa gives you many ways to stop drinking before it is too late. Many resources have a spirituality component and an encouraging support group. Support groups provide a solution.

For some people alcohol is just something you have with dinner or at the end of the day or at a party. For others, it's the mask that needs to be worn to function.

It is a very useful tool for readers struggling with alcohol addiction, a book that brings together stories and lessons from women who have suffered from alcoholism and who have had the courage to regain their freedom.

Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture Show Guest: Lisa Boucher Guest Host: Seth Hall Women tell me they drink because they have problems—the truth is that they have problems because they drink. The solution stares us in the face, but we don’t like the answer, so we move on to something else: antidepressants, therapy, self-help books, yoga, holistic healers—the list goes on . . . my God, just don’t tell me to quit drinking. Lisa Boucher, author of Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture, asks real question that needs to be asked is how can you live a joyous, fulfilling life when alcohol—a depressant—gets invited along on every occasion? I am passionate about shifting the scales and helping women of all ages find their joy. Please join us as we travel on a journey with Lisa that is all about changing and saving lives.

Recovery and addiction sadly often go hand in hand. What is modeled for us as a child, or not modeled for us, along the trauma of any type of abuse can lead to struggles with addictions of drugs and alcohol.Our guest today, Lisa Boucher, joins us to talk about her life which started out with abuse early on in the home, and a mother who was an alcoholic, and how those events and circumstances paved the way for her own struggles with alcohol.Lisa Boucher is the author of Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture, an award-winning book that won the 2017 Best Book Awards in the category of women’s health and placed as a finalist in the category of addiction/recovery. She is also a speaker.After short stints where she trained polo horses, worked as a flight attendant, hairdresser, and bartender, she realized that the time to implement serious change had arrived. She gave up drinking, revamped her life and settled in as a registered nurse where living a life in recovery became her way.For the past twenty-eight years, Lisa has worked with hundreds of women to overcome alcoholism, live better lives and become better parents. She was prompted to write Raising the Bottom when after twenty-four years of working in hospitals, she realized that doctors and traditional health care offer few solutions to women with addiction issues.

Do you are someone you know struggles with Alcohol Use? Did you know that Alcoholism doesn't have any boundaries and affects all cultures from all walks of life? Did you know that Alcoholism effects the entire body, specifically, the brain, heart, pancreas, mouth, liver, and immune system? According to the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 88,000 people die from alcohol-related deaths each year in the United States. Given these statistics, alcohol continues to be one of the nation's most preventable causes of death, second only to tobacco and a poor diet/sedentary lifestyle. Join Dr. Alise and Special Guest, Registered Nurse and Alcoholism Expert, Lisa Boucher as she shares her own story and take us on a deeper discussion about Alcoholism and Recovery.

Many of us think nothing of having a drink of wine or a mojito after work. Whether it’s to relax or to fit in socially, we take that glass in hand so casually we don’t take into consideration what its long term effects may be. Yet alcohol can creep up on us until one day some of us can wake up in the rabbit hole of addiction and all of its consequences.When is one drink, one drink too many? That’s the focus of this episode of Dream Power Radio, with my guest, Lisa Boucher, author of the book Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture. As a former alcoholic, she knows firsthand the consequences of drinking and has assisted hundreds with their own healing from substance abuse. She talks with me about:• Why the stereotypical profile of an alcoholic is misleading• How to tell if you have an addiction• Why people slip into addiction• How alcohol robs us of our dreams• How to get clean and stay soberDon’t miss this powerful episode of Dream Power Radio.raisingthebottom.com

The Matter of the Heart - Lisa Boucher - Author of the Award Winning Book - Raising the Bottom, Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture , Alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous Lisa lived with her alcoholic mother for several years and this manifested her passion to write her book. She was also a registered nurse for 25 years and for the most part never saw a healthy approach for the treatment of alcoholics in hospitals. Most of the alcoholics were given consistent medication without a treatment for the cure. What are the signs of an alcoholic? Why do some have resistance for treatment? Carol explores the psychology of the patient with Lisa. What is a functional alcoholic? Why does Lisa believe that AA is the best form of treatment? What are some of the psychological reasons that contribute to an alcoholic? Why is a person's self esteem so vital for recovery and how does Alcoholics Anonymous foster this with their group sessions? Is a group session a replacement from a genetic family, enhancing a bond and compassion for one another? Lisa reviews some of the steps starting from the alcoholics life which has become so unmanageable to the twelfth step believing in a higher power. According to Lisa, some methods for healing could be journal writing, taking note of any childhood trauma that occurred in the person's life. Loving energy in the program can be monumental for healing. Support also creates a sense of security and inner peace. This is a fascinating podcast of how a woman learned the hard way and then gave back to mankind!
