Ep 42 – Brain Scan and Alcohol Effects
Welcome to part two of my interview with Dr. Parsons from Amen Clinics! This is the Say Goodbye and Imagine podcast. I’m Rose Ann Forte, the author of the daily devotional The Plans He Has for Me and the creator of the Choose Freedom course, designed to help people change their relationship with alcohol and other substances.
In this(Brain Scan and Alcohol Effects) episode, we dive into the Brain Scan and Alcohol Effects as we go through the results of my brain scan. I want to share openly about my history and where I am now. I wish I had the “before” scan because I know the results would have looked very different.
Before we begin, let me tell you a little about Dr. Parsons. She graduated from medical school at Wayne State University in Michigan and has practiced in various settings, including consult liaison, medical floors, emergency departments, inpatient psychiatry, and as the medical director for the largest community mental health center in Northern Arizona.
Dr. Parsons is well-versed in addiction and recovery, working in detox, residential, and outpatient settings. She also runs a private practice with a primary focus on holistic care—something I absolutely love, and you’ll see this in action during our conversation. Dr. Parsons is passionate about helping to end the stigma of mental illness, and I can’t thank her enough for the work she does in this area.
