Carrie Wilkens PhD - Compassionate Addiction (#242)

Author: East Forest January 3, 2023 Duration: 58:44
Fifty years of research shows that it’s where science and kindness meet that creates lasting change. Carrie Wilkens PhD is co-author of the new book, The Beyond Addiction Workbook for Family and Friends: Evidence-Based Skills to Help a Loved One Make Positive Change — she explains that the most effective way to treat addiction is one of the least utilized: support, kindness, and compassion.

East Forest’s Ten Laws with East Forest exists in the space where melody meets mindfulness, and conversation becomes a tool for personal navigation. It’s built on a simple, potent question: how do we live with more integrity and ease during times of profound collective change? The answer unfolds through dialogues with a fascinating array of voices-artists, scientists, philosophers, and healers-who often defy easy categorization. You’ll hear from musicians about spirituality, researchers about the body, and dreamers about practical wisdom. This podcast is not just about talk; it’s an experience. East Forest weaves in unique, guided meditations and shares exclusive musical pieces from his own work, creating a sonic landscape for reflection. The discussions naturally touch on themes of mental clarity, physical well-being, and spiritual inquiry, reflecting the holistic path of the host. Each episode feels like an invitation to explore the internal laws that govern a more authentic life, all while remembering the profound connection between sound, silence, and our shared humanity. It’s a resource for anyone looking to deepen their practice, broaden their perspective, or simply find a moment of grounded inspiration amidst the noise.
