I think the most important piece of my recovery is connection with other people. And that comes through personal, you know, my personal life, quote unquote, but also professionally. The two are pretty much, I feel like there's so much crossover.
What does it take to turn a life of addiction into one of advocacy and support? In this episode of 'Thriving in Recovery', hosts Bryce Givens and Robby Mitchell chat with Emily Schrader, a therapist whose story is as inspiring as it is educational. Emily's path to recovery began with experimentation in high school, which spiraled into a full-blown addiction during her college years.
But rather than letting it define her, Emily chose to fight back, eventually transforming her struggles into a career dedicated to helping others navigate their own recovery journeys. Emily's insights are not just professional; they're deeply personal. She discusses the pivotal role of therapy in her recovery, the importance of planning and having a support system, and how authentic connections can make all the difference.
She also shares practical advice on finding joy and meaning in everyday life, even when the going gets tough. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the transformative power of therapy and the ongoing process of self-discovery in recovery. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Emily's story offers hope, wisdom, and practical tools to help you along the way.
