Maybe you are worthy of being ignored or not, special or not, the first in the line, and whatever it may be, that sense of much rage and anger comes from a sense of injustice that they are accusing me of something, but then underneath it is the fear they're accusing me of something that maybe it might be true, exactly.
Feeling like everything is a personal attack can be a real struggle, especially when you're on the path to sobriety. In this episode of 'The Recovered Life Show', host Damon Frank sits down with Life & Recovery Strategist George Snyder to tackle this very issue. They dive into why taking things too personally can be detrimental to your recovery journey and offer practical tips to help you manage these emotions.
One standout moment in their chat is the emphasis on hitting the pause button when these feelings arise, giving yourself a moment to breathe and gain perspective. The episode also highlights how those closest to us, like family members, can unintentionally hurt us the most, and how crucial it is to address personal issues head-on rather than internalising them. Damon and George share valuable tools you can add to your 'recovery toolkit' to foster better relationships and maintain your sobriety.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers relatable advice and strategies to help you navigate sensitive situations without compromising your progress.
