We make them love themselves, like we love them until they're ready to love themselves, which is so important, because that's really, that's really at the core of the healing process is feeling loved, feeling connected and then being able to love yourself.
Imagine facing the daunting challenge of recovery while battling the stigmas that surround mental health and substance abuse. That's exactly what Diana Dubbs from Dreamlife Recovery shares in this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast. Diana opens up about her personal journey, shedding light on the hurdles she faced and the triumphs she achieved along the way.
She doesn't just stop at her own story; she dives into the broader issues of stigma, emphasizing how these negative perceptions can hinder recovery and what we can do to change them. One of the key takeaways from Diana's conversation is the importance of setting and protecting personal boundaries. In a world where it's easy to get overwhelmed, knowing your limits and standing by them can be a game-changer.
Diana also highlights the value of having mentor peers—those who've walked a similar path and can offer guidance and support. But it's not all about the challenges. Diana talks about the Dreamlife Recovery program and its holistic approach to treating co-occurring disorders. By focusing on the whole person, not just the symptoms, Dreamlife Recovery helps individuals find their footing and build a life they love.
At the heart of Diana's message is a simple yet powerful truth: feeling loved, connected, and learning to love oneself are crucial elements in the healing process. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Diana's insights offer hope and practical advice for navigating this complex landscape.
