My hope is that we can harness all of this- af, df and whatever other name you want to call yourself in the recovery world and bring ourselves together to acknowledge that this language that we're using, even if it seems to clarify what we're suffering from it, may end up setting us apart from the world of recovery.
Ever feel boxed in by labels? In this thought-provoking episode of the Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti takes a deep dive into the world of stigma surrounding addiction and recovery. Lynn, a seasoned clinical mental health therapist, opens up about her own journey, moving from being labeled an 'alcoholic' to understanding herself beyond that limiting term. She was once a high-functioning drinker, managing life’s demands until she couldn't hide her struggles any longer.
Lynn’s candid reflections offer a refreshing perspective on how language shapes our recovery journeys. She argues that the labels we use can often be more harmful than helpful, creating unnecessary shame and fear. Instead, Lynn encourages us to rethink how we talk about addiction and recovery, pushing for more inclusive and empowering conversations. This episode isn’t just about breaking down the stigma; it’s about building yourself back up with a personalized recovery plan.
Lynn shares practical advice on finding support groups, seeking therapy, and developing new coping mechanisms tailored to individual needs. If you're tired of the old narratives and looking for a fresh approach to recovery, this episode is a must-listen. With Lynn’s quirky wisdom and authentic storytelling, you’ll find both inspiration and actionable tips to help you on your path to a fulfilling, stigma-free life.
