The Intentional Clinician: Psychology, Philosophy, and Therapy
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Dr. Laura Petracek Ph.D. discusses all things addiction and recovery with Paul Krauss MA LPC on this episode. Dr. Petracek believes that people can use DBT [Dialectical Behavior Therapy] as a method of emotional regulation and relapse prevention that stabilizes and strengthens recovery journeys to combat the emotions associated with drinking. If you or someone you know is struggling, or if you are clinician or someone who is interested in solutions--this episode is for you.
