S1E4 My Pal Patrick (Warburton), Part 2

S1E10 Shia Blakeny

THE BLURB: Shia Blakeny works at the intersection of mental health, addiction and human development – and what happens when that intersection gets complicated. To that end, Shia has built programs that challenge traditional models of treatment. As CEO of Recover Integrity and cofounder of Antedote Lab, he develops experiential and relational approaches to recovery that are grounded in what Shia calls “right relationships” instead of rigid ideology. His work integrates psychology, spirituality, and culture to rethink how people heal, grow, and live. As someone who’s benefited from what Shia’s done, I can tell you: his work works.  SHOW NOTES If you enjoy this podcast, please check out our other podcasts at Costard & Touchstone Productions!
