Judging Ourselves and Others: A Deeper Look with Billy and Jason

We have like a standard of what we think is right and wrong, and then we judge the entire world and ourselves based on that standard, which leads to a lot of self-hatred.
Ever caught yourself judging others or even yourself a bit too harshly? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', Billy and Jason take on the tricky topic of judging. They start by breaking down the different sides of judging—how it’s something we do every day, yet it can make us feel pretty lousy. Imagine trying to pick out the 'winners' in life while also being told not to judge anyone. It’s a real balancing act, right?
They dive into how these judgments affect our mental health, often leading to self-hatred and a negative view of ourselves and others. It’s not just about pointing fingers; it’s about how societal standards and those pesky automatic negative thoughts sneak into our minds. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. Billy and Jason share their own stories and offer practical tips on how to dial down the judgment.
They emphasize the power of compassion, empathy, and keeping an open mind. It’s a reminder that while judging is part of being human, what really counts is how we handle it. By challenging our knee-jerk reactions and considering other perspectives, we can foster a kinder attitude towards ourselves and those around us. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt message: recovery isn’t just about giving up substances; it’s about personal growth and healing.
So, tune in for an honest chat that might just change how you see yourself and others.
