Knowing … our relationship to chemsex pt. 2

On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent and Dave continue their two-part series on better understanding our relationship to chemsex and how we can heal it.

The boys are joined once again by Queer Recovery Coaching Founder, Andrew Moses, and together they focus on the “recovery” side of our relationship to chemsex by discussing:

What “recovery” means and what it can look like,
How the ‘Queer Recovery Framework’ differs from more traditional recovery models,
The importance of refocusing how we understand addiction and recovery,
The role of emotions and our nervous system within the recovery process,
The importance of having a relationship with ourselves, as well as
What some of the common goals are for people in recovery.
