Episode 43: The Deeper Work of Addiction Recovery with Mike Govoni

Holistic Trauma Healing with Lindsey Lockett

This is part 2 of my interview with holistic healer and addiction recovery specialist Mike Govoni. To listen to part one, go to Episode 41: Addiction & Recovery — Consciousness Prevents Relapse.

In this episode with Mike, we...

• discuss the importance of honoring the act of putting the substance down as its own step in recovery and at any point in the healing journey
• talk about titrating trauma out of the nervous system
• discuss the completion of trauma cycles
• talk about how wild animals discharge trauma energy from their bodies and how that relates to humans
• discuss Mike's hospital work in Boston during the opioid epidemic
• talk about the role of spirituality and consciousness in addiction recovery
• challenge the efficacy of 12-step programs
• share that addiction is an opportunity to awaken consciousness
• talk about Christ consciousness (in a very non-religious way)
