We’ve come a long way in mental health - but we can do so much better.In this episode, I chat with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, a sociologist, psychotherapist, and the founder of Ellenhorn - the only fully integrated psychiatric and psychosocial program in the U.S. We talk about why removing people from their communities can make recovery harder, why connection is more powerful than institutions, and how the modern world has left us more lonely than ever.Ross also shares his groundbreaking perspective on addiction, why he believes play and dialogue are the keys to feeling alive, and what practical steps anyone can take to move from feeling stuck to building a meaningful life.TOPICS:<ul><li>Connection vs. institutions in addiction and mental health recovery</li><li>The role of play, dialogue, and community in creating meaning</li><li>Why modern life fuels loneliness and disconnection</li></ul>MORE FROM NICK:Book a FREE call here to learn about the Move Your Mind Program: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yc3zmu35" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/yc3zmu35</a>Find all links here: <a href="https://nickbracks.start.page/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nickbracks.start.page/</a>Sign up to the website: <a href="https://open.acast.com/networks/610bca98fbf8e200123fdaa4/shows/6113e96b8b4903612016f7e9/episodes/nickbracks.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nickbracks.com</a>Connect with Nick on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nickbracks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/nickbracks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> & <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickbracks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>MORE FROM DR.
