Hello Loves,
Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.
Today, my guest is JF Benoist is the founder and program manager of The Exclusive Hawaii, a non 12 step, holistic addiction treatment center.
Benoist is well-known for the therapeutic methodology he created, Experiential Engagement Therapy™ (EET), which helps people more effectively resolve their self-destructive core beliefs.
In addition to his work in therapy, Benoist is also the author of the bestselling self-help book, “Addicted to the Monkey Mind:Change the Programming That Sabotages Your Life” https://amzn.to/3sGoosI
We cover a LOT of book recommendations, so check out the show notes for a list of books we talked about.
This episode is brought to you by Sober Life School, where you can find programs like “Sobriety Reset – a 30 Day Bootcamp” to help you get a jumpstart on your journey to abstinence. There’s a series of videos covering everything from how to prep for day 1, how to handle cravings, social situations, emotional triggers and even sleep issues and sober sex. Best part is you can do it from the privacy of your own home, with live support from me and the others in the private group. So if you’re ready to ditch the booze, I’ll see you in the group!
So there ya have it, please enjoy this conversation, with JF
