Robb Kelly, PhD (psychology, Oxford, 1984) joined me this morning and shared his remarkable story.Dr. Kelly is an addiction expert. He provides one-on-one coaching which focuses on “healing the body, mind and spirit of our clients” by teaching addicts to change their thought patterns, which manifests in changed behaviors. He “pulls the disease out of his clients and empowers them to fight their disease head on.”In this episode, Dr. Kelly discusses growing up in England and drinking when he was just 9-years old. He describes his early career as a bass player and “partying” with Elton John and Freddie Mercury before scraping his way through college/graduate school, starting a family and then losing it all by age 26. After several failed suicide attempts, he was “led” into Alcoholics Anonymous, which changed his life.We spoke about anxiety, fear, covid-19, mental health, AA and his unconventional approach to permanently closing the revolving door of recovery.Good thinking Coach!!
