We have to up our awareness of all of this behavior that we've been numbing. We need to add things into our lives that embrace the idea that we are not alone in this journey, that every decision that we make is not critical, that we can depend on others and hopefully, something greater than ourselves.
Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of relapse? In this episode of The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti dives deep into the realities of maintaining sobriety and offers practical advice on preventing relapse. Lynn, a seasoned therapeutic coach and author, sheds light on why relying on 'easy' and 'effortless' solutions can be a trap. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of developing a robust toolbox filled with healthy coping skills and strategies.
Lynn breaks down the top 10 reasons people relapse and shares the five essential elements of the SoberSoul Recovery practice. She encourages listeners to be honest with themselves, avoid minimizing consequences, and steer clear of over-personalizing setbacks. By building a solid buffer zone—think of it as emotional bubble wrap—you can better navigate intense situations and stressful events without turning to old habits. Connecting with others on the same journey is another cornerstone of Lynn's approach.
She highlights the benefits of treatment programs and step facilitation, which offer much-needed structure and support. Awareness is key; understanding the behaviors you've been numbing can help you stay on track. Lynn's authentic and clinically informed guidance is a breath of fresh air for anyone seeking a different relationship with alcohol, drugs, or other problematic patterns. Whether you're new to recovery or looking to reinforce your existing strategies, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips.
