Holding someone accountable is because you see a better version of that person or you know who that person can be
Accountability can be a tricky concept, especially when it feels more like criticism than support. In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the nuances of holding each other accountable in a way that's constructive and compassionate. They explore the difference between genuine accountability and mere criticism, emphasising the importance of mutual agreement on standards.
With personal anecdotes and reflections, they discuss how accountability should come from a place of love and shared goals, rather than judgement. The hosts delve into the idea that holding someone accountable is about helping them become the best version of themselves, based on agreed-upon expectations. They also highlight the challenges of applying these principles outside of a structured environment like The Refuge, where everyone shares common aims.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how to balance support and accountability in their relationships. Whether you're part of a recovery community or just trying to be a better friend or family member, you'll find valuable insights here. Tune in to discover how to create a supportive environment where accountability is a tool for growth, not a weapon for criticism.
