Negative self talk is seriously dangerous when it comes to recovery. Whether it’s how we talk to ourselves when we’re first starting out, or the things we say later as we start rebuilding our lives, we have to learn to quiet the inner critic, and show ourselves kindness. The cycle of negativity will only hold us back from achieving our goals, no matter what they are. It’s easier said than done though, to learn how to catch those thoughts and change them. Join us in this podcast episode as we talk with Marc, Dave, and Corinna about how we’ve learned to stop negative self talk and give ourselves the chance to thrive.

Mr. Marc Effron, Co-Founder of Legacy Healing Center is a seasoned financial services professional who spent more than 20 years in annuity and mutual funds sales, training, and consulting. He is a renowned motivational speaker and enjoys coaching his sons’ athletic teams and making an impact in his local community. Mr. Effron, a person who has been affected by family and friends by the disease of addiction, felt compelled to improve the quality of care, treatment, and service in the South Florida behavioral health space. After the birth of his second son, he became overwhelmed to act, he thought, “God forbid either of my sons needed help, I would not be comfortable sending them to most rehabs in South Florida, as they wouldn’t meet my personal standard.” After numerous accomplishments in the financial field, Mr. Effron chose to follow his dream. He created a professional behavioral health organization that is prided on fostering an environment of ladies and gentlemen, leading ladies, and gentlemen into recovery.
Mr. Effron often states, “I want to create a behavioral health company that I would feel confident sending my own children to. Which is why Legacy Healing Center operates at the highest standard. My vision is to fundamentally operate ethically while providing premier quality of care.”
Legacy Healing Center offers a comprehensive approach to healing through psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, exercise, and nutrition. It is a program that offers an opioid alternative to chronic pain management in the form of physical therapy, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Mr. Effron also believes in annual recovery check-ups and uses recovery/sober coaches to help with reintegration into society. Mr. Effron is responsible for the daily operations of Legacy Healing Center and reports directly to the clients he serves.
