S8E4 Formula A, For Better Mental Health
When it comes to managing my mental health, I love using the tools from CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapies.
There are countless tools to help manage the "waves of life." I notice that, when I can stay consistent & persistent in my efforts, the waves don't necessarily become any smoother - but I tend to navigate them better. I like to think I'm becoming an expert surfer!
In this vignette, I share a simple recipe I use every day to ensure I'm able to successfully surf those waves of life! I call this recipe my "Formula A" and it has 4 ingredients that help me boost my mood, alleviate anxiety, and prevent regrets.
Remember to talk to and treat yourself like you'd talk to and treat a good friend.

S7E11
What I learned as a journalist for 20 years - and as a mental health professional for the past 7 years - is that communication is not merely a skill. Communication can become a doorway to deeper self-awareness.
In this episode of the RRR show, I share a few principles for more effective communication. These principles are not rules to follow, but invitations to return to your center, especially when it feels hardest to do so.

S7E10
On this episode, I talk about how important it is for us to be the gatekeeper of our life and of our mind.
Our mind is a complex chemical organ that seeks the easiest path and is too easily conditioned to forge paths that are unhealthy.
After 20 years as a broadcast journalist (perpetuating the FUD Factor), I can guarantee you that there are far more good people doing good things than bad... and there are far more good things happening in the world than bad.

On this episode, Tanya talk about another of her favourite "snappy slogans." The "Catch It, Check It, Change It" tool can help you:
Catch unhelpful thoughts, check the unhelpful thoughts using tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and then change the unhelpful thoughts to more helpful thoughts.
A pioneer in CBT, Dr. David Burns (feelinggood.com) created a list of the 10 most common cognitive distortions (unhelpful thoughts). If you'd like a copy, email Tanya at redroofrecovery@gmail.com and she'll also send you a "Control" meme, for a visual reminder to stay focused on what's within your control.

S7E2:
In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery show, Tanya revisits the pandemic - when addiction and suicide rates more than doubled.
During COVID, Tanya became an online facilitator for the Toronto group of SMART (Self Management And Recovery Training). After 2 years of volunteering with the group, she was told that "Moving forward, we don't feel you're a good fit."
Tanya has been told countless times that she's not a good fit. It was part of what kept her saddled with addictions most of her life. Hearing it again - after being free from addictions for a long time - didn't throw her into the vortex of despair again. This time, she took affirmative action to "never let the fuckers pull you down!"
So, even though Tanya makes reference to smartrecoverytoronto, she now recommends smartrecovery.org https://smartrecovery.org to access the SMART meetings that are available globally - which will be a good fit for everyone!

On this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya talks about how challenging it can be to live in an achievement-oriented society while finding life balance because we are programmed by:* Social and cultural conditioning that dictates how we should act, look, and think. * Media messages that tell us happiness is just one product or procedure away. * A relentless economy that fosters an endless cycle of work, debt, and consumption, leaving little room for introspection.

In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya and Lance share some insights about how their 30+ years of marriage barely survived Tanya's addictions.
Lance talks about how he experienced the "7 Stages of Grief" while living through Tanya's addictions and recovery!
Moving to Spain in 2007 was the pivotal point for Tanya to hit what's referred to as "rock bottom."
After a 30-day stay in rehab - and 8 years of relapsing while in the 12-step programs of Alcoholic's Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous - Tanya says her path to freedom finally came from an evidence-based program called SMART.

In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya and Lance talk about how their 30+ years of marriage have evolved and survived Tanya's drug & alcohol addictions.
Moving to Spain in 2007 was the pivotal point for Tanya to hit what's referred to as "rock bottom."
After a 30-day stay in rehab - and 8 years of relapsing while in the 12-step programs of Alcoholic's Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous - Tanya says her path to freedom finally came from an evidence-based program called SMART.

In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya talks about the valuable CBT tool called "the hula hoop." There are hundreds of tools to use in life, the K.E.Y. is to Keep Educating Yourself to find what works for YOU.
Whether it was the pandemic in 2020 or the recession that came afterwards... the trauma, the divisions, the grief, the corruption, the greed - all of that BS is beyond our control. There's always something that makes life suck at times! Tanya says the Hula-Hoop tool is a great reminder to stay focused on what's within our control.

It was always a dream to find something we could do together as a business, and the pandemic pivot allowed that to happen!
Lance lived with me through my drug and alcohol addictions for more than 20 years. Lance now brings his lived experience to our livelihood, to help the family members who want to help their loved one overcome addiction.
We've created programs that are based on our successful lived experience to navigate this lived experience of addiction. We can help you and your loved ones navigate life to a full recovery so you can thrive in sobriety and life.
Our goal is to treat the root cause of addiction (or any mental health condition), so you won't need a lifetime of therapy.

The Stages of Change was introduced to me when I became a facilitator with SMART (self management and recovery training).
It was definitely a tool that helped me to recognize my pattern of "relapsing" into my addictions, and helped me stop using excuses to keep justifying why I wasn't ready to commit to my recovery from drug and alcohol addictions.

The K.E.Y. to recovery can be to simply "Keep Educating Yourself"... keep looking for something that works for you.
I'm grateful to SMART Recovery USA for helping me with the cognitive tools to learn how to manage my urges, thoughts, moods, and behaviours. As a bonus, I think I've also become a better communicator!
In the world of addiction recovery, there are "models" of recovery like the 12-step programs of AA (alcoholic's anonymous) and NA (narcotics anonymous), and more evidence-based models of recovery like SMART (self management and recovery training).
"AA saved my life, and SMART gave me my life back." It's something I say often!
I was indoctrinated with the 12-step program model of recovery when I checked myself into a rehab facility in 2009. For the next 8 years, I attended AA and NA meetings on a weekly basis and relapsed into my drug and alcohol addictions every year or two. I found SMART in 2018 and haven't relapsed since. The evidence for me is that the SMART model of recovery is more effective. However, we're all different animals, so it's important to keep looking for something that works for you.
How do you talk to yourself? You spend more time talking to yourself, inside our own head, than you talk to anyone - so it's worth the effort to make it a nice place to be!
Self talk is powerful. That inner dialogue can often push us into substance and behavioural addictions that are harmful. Cognitive therapies have taught me how to "Catch It, Check It, and Change It!"
On this week's episode, Lance and Tanya discuss ways to silence, or at least intercept, this inner dialogue so it doesn't sabotage your recovery.
How do you maintain motivation to abstain from addictions? It's a question that comes up a lot in recovery meetings.
Lance and Tanya talk about the definition of motivation, the dopamine deficit that makes people biologically vulnerable to addictions, and how you can tap into the feel-good pharmacy that lives inside of you.
Tanya shares why the concept of "acceptance" was unacceptable to her for a long time in her recovery from drug & alcohol addictions, and what she did to finally accept herself, her recovery, and her life on life's terms. Lance and Tanya do this episode of the Red Roof Recovery show on zoom for the first time! We’ll keep working on the sound quality. Thanks for your patience.
On this week's episode of Red Roof Recovery, I'm joined by my best friend and business partner, Lance (I can him my Sir Lancelot). Lance lived with me through my alcohol and drug addictions for more than 20 years.
Together, we'll be unfolding the struggles that can arise from abstaining, and living with someone who is abstaining, from addictions - and sharing some helpful strategies to build your resilience.
Being a certified addictions counsellor in both Canada and Michigan, Psychologist Doug Pryor shares his experience and observances from each side of the border when it comes to the models of recovery that work best for addiction recovery.
"Denial is more than a big river in Egypt!" It's a common saying in recovery circles, because people challenged with AUD/SUD (alcohol/substance use disorders) spend a loooonnnnngggggg time in denial.
On this episode, Lance and I chat about my years of denial and what finally pushed me to seek recovery from my drug and alcohol addictions.
Lance is back to offer some perspective to family members who are living with someone who's addicted.
Most of the inquiries we receive are from family members who are trying to help their loved one. The sad reality is that there is very little you can do, except help yourself.
On this episode, you'll earn how the PIUS tool can help hone your communication skills to help rather than hinder.
Communication is a challenge for many of us, especially when we're dealing with heightened emotions.
On this episode of the Red Roof Recovery show, Lance and Tanya share how they resolve some of their communication challenges -- using the tools of SMART and other cognitive behaviour therapies.
In order for me to maintain my motivation to abstain from harmful substances and behaviours, I've had to learn to develop my self worth and my 'value' independent from outside circumstances, perceived realities, and society's opinions of me.
This hasn't been an easy task. We live in a culture that values "achievements,"... specifically financial and professional achievements.
On this episode of the Red Roof Recovery show, we explore the solutions to living a balanced life in an unbalanced world.
Do you think the societal stigma around addiction is increasing or decreasing? The pandemic has tripled addiction and suicide rates, and addiction is still the most stigmatized condition on the planet.
On this episode of Red Roof Recovery, I have a conversation with Serenity Cates who now works in the addiction services sector, after overcoming homelessness and addiction.
On this episode of RRR, Serenity Cates and I have a conversation about her recovery from addiction, and what we can do to help eliminate the societal stigma. Serenity has experienced trauma, addiction, and homelessness, and is now a social work professional working with people who are facing the same struggles and barriers that she faced.
Communication has the power to polarize and the power to connect -- and how we choose to use communication can determine the quality of our life, the quality of our relationships, and the quality of our recovery from addictions!
My catalyst for change came in 2009 when I made the decision to check into a rehab facility to address my escalating addictions to drugs and alcohol.
Lance and I were married in 1991, so - at that time - he had lived with me for 18 years while my addictions progressed.
On this episode, I ask Lance to answer questions that I was always reluctant to hear the answers to... questions like: What prevented you from leaving me during that time? What was your catalyst for change when you decided that your next move was to leave our marriage?
There are recurring topics that come up for people who are challenged with mental health disorders like addiction -- guilt and shame.
We feel guilty about our loved ones having to live with us - because we feel unworthy.
We feel shame for being unable to change the fact that we're suffering from a chronic illness that feels beyond our control.
Tanya and Lance delve into another deep discussion and share some ideas about the best way to melt away unhelpful beliefs.
Deception. It's something that family members of those who are challenged with mental health disorders like addiction come to accept. People who are suffering with SUD (substance use disorder) lie about their addictions. The lies contribute to the guilt and shame that we carry into our recovery.
On a previous episode, my husband shared his feelings about what it was like to live with the deception from someone he loved while, at the same time, watching me slowly kill myself every day with drug and alcohol addictions.
On this episode, he poses a few questions that he hoped would help him understand the thought process of someone with destructive addictive behaviours.
How does addiction affect our loved ones?
Tanya talks to her husband of 30 years about what it was like for him to watch her slowly killing herself everyday with her addictions to alcohol and drugs.
Tanya's husband of 30 years shares how her addictions to drugs and alcohol affected his life and their relationship. Lance becomes emotional when he explains why he had to make a decision to stop trying to help.
REBT is a distinct form of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). Dr. Walter Matweychuk is a specialist in REBT (rational emotive behaviour therapy), and shares his insights on this problem-focused therapy that can be applied effectively to mental health disorders like addictions.
Rational Emotive and other Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (thinking therapies) are always among the topics for each episode of the Red Roof Recovery show, a program to soften the path of recovery for mental health disorders including addictions.
Special guest, Tammy Bannon, is an NLP specialist who joins us to talk about the four keys to access our Higher Consciousness.
Depressed? Feeling anxious, hopeless, frustrated?
Each episode covers topics on a variety of mental health disorders, including addictions.
Learning how to overcome and manage mental health disorders, including addictions, anxiety, and depression are topics on every episode of Red Roof Recovery.

How we use our language is important. On this episode of The Red Roof Recovery show, Tanya talks about her aversion around the labels that are used in the recovery world. She says it made her feel heavy and immoral to announce that she was an "alcoholic and addict." Something that happened in rehab changed her life, and set her on a path of recovery... and a path of "self like."
