Knowing … our addiction through AOD counselling pt. 2

On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent and Dave continue their journey to find out about substance addiction.

The boys continue with part two of their chat with Molly Boorman, an AOD Counsellor and the AOD Counselling Practice Lead at Thorne Harbour Health. This week they speak with Molly about seeking out support when we, or someone we love, is dealing with addiction. In addition, the boys chat through:

  • Bruce Alexander’s series of experiments called “Rat Park”,
  • The importance of our biology in understanding our addiction,
  • The biopsychosocial model of understanding addiction and our mental health,
  • The potential of dual barriers to accessing support,
  • The relationship between chem sex and addiction, as well as
  • How stigma can inhibit us seeking out support for addiction.
