We do not get over things, we get through things. Only when we are able to acknowledge this full range of attributes in the person that we have lost and ourselves, can we integrate our memories, actions, and feelings in a way that leads to healing us.
Imagine trying to escape quicksand—the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. That's how it feels to avoid painful emotions, according to Lynn Matti in this episode of The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast. Lynn dives into the complex emotions of grief and loss, explaining how they can morph into anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges if left unaddressed.
With her unique blend of professional expertise and personal wisdom, Lynn provides a roadmap for acknowledging and processing these difficult feelings. She emphasizes that we don’t simply 'get over' our grief; we must work through it. By integrating memories and emotions, we can find a path to healing. Lynn also touches on the role of perfectionism in grief and shares practical tools for recovery, such as joining support groups and seeking therapy.
She even delves into the significance of Step 4 and Step 5 in AA and NA, which focus on understanding the impact of our actions and beliefs on others. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone grappling with loss, offering both solace and actionable advice.
