Quit Drinking By Changing Your Mind: Marisa Peer's Method
About this episode
Marisa Peer has worked with thousands of people including royalty, rock stars, actors, and Olympic athletes. She's the founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy and one of the most respected therapists in the world.
In this conversation with Sober Dave, she says something that stops you in your tracks: in 30 years of work, she has never met an addict who believed they were enough.
That's the whole thing. The drinking, the drugs, the food, the gambling, the shopping. They sit on top of one quiet, unspeakable belief: I am not enough.
Marisa walks Dave through how she gets people sober fast, why willpower targets the wrong layer, what alcohol is actually doing for the people who can't stop, and how the medical world has made addiction sound more complicated to fix than it has to be.
She also shares the story of the 65-year-old alcoholic who finally got married, what Adele's lyrics give away, and the three-step process she uses to rewire the mind for indifference to alcohol.
