My goal is to normalize anxiety and depression as part of the human experience, and when I say disorders, I even feel like I'm pathologizing.
Feeling overwhelmed in the early days of sobriety? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', clinical mental health therapist Lynn Matti tackles a listener's question about dealing with anxiety, depression, and insecurities during the initial stages of sobriety. Samantha, a listener, shares her struggles despite attending meetings, talking to her sponsor, and seeking professional help from both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Lynn offers her expert advice on navigating these choppy waters.
She breaks down the four phases of recovery: moderation, abstinence, sobriety, and recovery, and emphasizes the importance of being honest with oneself about where they are in their journey. Lynn also challenges the quick-fix mentality that many of us have and stresses the value of open dialogue with healthcare providers. This episode is all about normalizing the struggles we face and finding ways to cope with them through therapy and support.
If you're in the early days of your sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical tips and heartfelt advice to help you manage your mental health.
