For every addicted person there's a minimum of codependents, and codependents get sicker faster and stay sicker longer.
The holiday season can be a minefield of stress, especially for those in recovery. This episode of 'Recovery Radio' features addiction therapist EJ Jackson, who brings over 30 years of experience to the table. EJ shares her wisdom on managing holiday stress, making it an essential listen for anyone navigating recovery during this festive time. She touches on the often-overlooked issue of codependency, highlighting how it can exacerbate addiction problems and offering strategies to address it within the family system.
EJ also introduces the concept of using hypnosis in therapy to help individuals climb an 'emotional ladder', moving from negative to positive states of mind. This method can be particularly beneficial during stressful periods like the holidays. Practical tips are plentiful in this episode. EJ advises bringing a supportive friend to gatherings, having a backup plan if things get overwhelming, and knowing when it's time to make an exit.
Her insights aim to equip listeners with the tools they need to enjoy the holiday season without compromising their recovery journey. As she aptly puts it, 'It's stressful to be joyful when it's expected', but with the right support and strategies, a joyful holiday is within reach.
