Cannabis & Addiction Counseling: Strengthening Bonds Through Trust with Suzanne Gottschalk
Manage episode 366487459 series 1290591
Have you or someone you love ever struggled with figuring out how cannabis and addiction counseling or recovery can co-exist?
In this episode, I sat down with Suzanne, a former cannabis user turned counselor for recovering addicts.
Her story takes an unexpected turn when she rediscovers the benefits of cannabis after facing numerous health challenges. Suzanne shares her journey from smoking cannabis in college to quitting when she and her husband decided to start a family.
After becoming a mother, she dedicated her career to helping others overcome addiction, working with individuals on probation and parole.
However, life took an unexpected turn when Suzanne was diagnosed with a brain tumor and developed seizures, among other health issues. Despite her struggles, she resisted using medicinal marijuana due to her work with recovering addicts.
It wasn't until June of last year, when she lost her beloved dog Sela that she turned to cannabis for relief.
The results were remarkable – Suzanne hasn't experienced a seizure since November 9th, 2022. As her health improves, she looks forward to regaining her independence and embarking on the newest chapter of her life.
Join us as we discuss the power of medicinal marijuana, its role in Suzanne's journey to wellness, and the importance of staying open-minded when it comes to alternative treatments.
