What makes a successful recovery from addiction? The focus on HEALTH more than illness.
The Chinese Five Element tradition is a rich resource for learning to recognize how individuals are expressing the need for particular kinds of support in addiction recovery. Even more important, it is a priceless opportunity to learn to recognize even overt pathology as an entryway to virtue, and a means to assist others in making the transformation. In the Five Element tradition, pathologies are classified as being primarily associated with Fear, Anger, Grief, Neediness, and Anxiety. Each of these pathologies has a corresponding virtue: Wisdom, Activism, Impartiality, Considerateness, and Connection. All of us carry within us the potential for strength and clarity. All of us have unique potential. Learning to support individuals in their discovery of strengths and virtues that they didn’t even know they had inside them can be instrumental in recovery from addictions.
