  • Some Excellent Some Disappointing

    The interviews on eating disorders were great and I was excited to listen to more wonderful in depth wisdom here. Unfortunately there are several interviews that share a very pharmaceutical approach to addictions, including drugs manufactured by the same companies that promoted the opioids and a medication that requires medical supervision for withdrawal, a dangerous choice for those who may not have the means to access this. Some of the information shared minimizes the impact of side effects w... more

  • Important Topics

    It’s unfortunate that mental health and addiction is still so hard to talk about, especially when it comes to just getting questions answered accurately and without judgement. RECOVERable does just that, and I cannot wait to listen to more of their experts unpack addiction and mental health. If you aren’t subscribed you need to be!!!!

  • Helpful and Educational

    Many people with mental health or addiction disorders not only look for help, but understanding what is happening to them. Including what treatments look like and are possible for them with their own disorders. This podcast helps with those questions and in turn, those who need help too

  • The clinical experts you don’t usually get to hear from

    I love that they bring on clinical experts you don’t always see easily. There’s so much noise on social media and podcast and the credibility of the guests helps cut through that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DID Trauma Response: Why Dissociative Identity Disorder Is a Survival Skill
Q: Is there a medication that cures DID?
There is no medication that cures dissociation; treatment focuses on addressing trauma and integration through psychotherapy and related approaches.
DID Trauma Response: Why Dissociative Identity Disorder Is a Survival Skill
Q: Are DID alters always dramatic when switching?
Not necessarily; switching can be subtle or dramatic. Many switches are quiet, which is part of why DID can be underdiagnosed.
DID Trauma Response: Why Dissociative Identity Disorder Is a Survival Skill
Q: Can you develop DID as an adult from a single traumatic event?
Generally not; most cases begin in childhood due to chronic, severe trauma, though rare circumstances may involve later changes or new parts developing after ongoing stress.
DID Trauma Response: Why Dissociative Identity Disorder Is a Survival Skill
Q: Is DID the same as multiple personality disorder?
No. DID is a more nuanced construct involving distinct identity states with amnesia, whereas the old label 'multiple personality disorder' implied separate individuals. The name change reflects this understanding and alignment with contemporary diagnostics.
Why Willpower Doesn't Work: A Neuroscientist Explains How to Rewire Your Brain
Q: What is the role of neuroplasticity in recovery?
Neuroplasticity allows the brain to form and strengthen new connections as old habit loops are weakened or overwritten. With attention, practice, and positive experiences, people can develop recovery capital and create durable, healthier patterns that supersede prior addictions.
