One Hour AT A Time
Summary: Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses. “One Hour AT A Time” will increase awareness about recovery and decrease the discrimination against individuals in the recovery process. Host Mary Woods, will help people understand the recovery of adults and families living with co-occurring substance use disorders and psychotic and/or affective illness over the course of a lifetime. Helping individuals develop the skills and knowledge they need to take personal responsibility for their health and supporting individuals in their efforts to get on with life beyond illness has been Mary’s mission and she now brings that mission to the airwaves. Broadcasting live on VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness every Monday afternoon at 12 PM Pacific, “One Hour AT A Time” – where recovery begins with education.

Our guest today is Dr. Don Meichenbaum, who will discuss the research findings that in the aftermath of traumatic and victimizing experiences (combat, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and the like), some 75% of individuals will be impacted but they go on to evidence resilience or the ability to “bounce back”. In contrast, some 25% will experience persistent adjustment difficulties. Dr. Meichenbaum will examine what distinguishes these two groups and discuss specific ways to bolster resilience in six domains (physical, interpersonal, emotional, thinking, behavioral and spiritual).

Our guest today will talk about defusing our most dangerous emotion - anger. It is not always your own anger that gets in the way of life and success. Very often someone else’s anger gets in your way. A spouse’s anger can end a marriage. A rage at work can get you fired. A parent’s anger can demolish a child, and a child’s anger can demolish a parent. Anger can cause us to be destructive toward the people we love the most.

According to Dr. Winer, “Light is the basic building block and nutrient for our body.
