In March 2024, I spoke with Eric Fisher, who has worked in mental health and addiction services for more than 13 years, about his first book, The Martial Art of Recovery: How to Subdue Addiction and Achieve Mental Wellness.
In November 2023, I spoke with Lorraine Nilon, an author from Australia who describes herself as a soul intuitive. She works mostly with people recovering from childhood abuse and narcissistic relationships, and many of them have also lived through alcohol or drug dependence.
In June 2023, I spoke with David Kenney and Susan Kenney of Emergo Academy, which trains and certifies recovery coaches. Their method, which they call Actualized Recovery, starts with the brain and the body before it turns to thoughts and habits.
In June 2018, I spoke with David Hecht, a writer on spirituality who has been in recovery for more than three decades through a 12-step fellowship. At the time, much of my practice had become care for people with opioid use disorder, and I wanted to hear how he would talk to someone who was just starting out.
