Substance Use & Addiction with Kelly McKora, LADAC

Substance Use & Addiction with Kelly McKora, LADAC

Kelly McKora is a LADAC (licensed alcohol and drug counselor) in the New England area who believes that “substance use and mental health are two aspects of the human condition that have always existed and affect everyone on a direct or indirect level. Kelly’s motivation for supporting individuals with such conditions comes from her personal experience of having lost a parent to addiction and a professional desire to help individuals who are often marginalized and stigmatized.

Some of the main points we discuss:

  • What is substance use disorder
  • We address the stigma of substance use disorder in society and how this disease does not discriminate
  • RECOVERY and how to know if you may need help...maybe briefly going into various levels of recovery (AA/NA, inpatient, sober homes, etc.)
  • What is co-occurring disorder/dual diagnosis
  • How we can all be a part of the solution to break the stigma around substance use
  • Resources for support:

*Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous/Al-Anon

*SMART Recovery

*Go to the nearest Emergency Dept in a crisis

*Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs

Documentary:

  • The Anonymous People

TED Talk:

  • Glennon Doyle “Lessons from the Mental Hospital”
  • Jennifer Storm “Resiliency & Recovery”

About Emma:

Emma G. Rose is a Maine author of contemporary fantasy and mythological weirdness. She intended to become an intrepid girl reporter like Nellie Bly.

Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome

In episode 5 we talk about “Imposter Syndrome”, what exactly this means, how it shows up in our daily lives in so many different ways and most importantly, how it affects our mental health.

We cover:
► What Imposter Syndrome is and how it can show up in our work lives, home lives, and other areas such as self-confidence and allowing ourselves to pursue our goals.
► To keep in mind that growth can be challenging and this is when we may feel Imposter Syndrome creeping in, and that this is something everyone feels at one point or another. Like other mental health challenges, we can only learn and practice how to navigate it!
► How society and our environments can perpetuate this cycle of self-doubt, especially for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
► Stating before you’re ready, stepping into your power and recognizing we may be experiencing Imposter Syndrome because we are upleveling!
► How to use certain thought changing techniques to start thinking differently about yourself and/or when you notice Imposter Syndrome taking over so as to continue to grow and achieve your goals.

As we have also done in past episodes, we mention a technique found in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) called “Act As If”, which is part of Emotion Regulation.
