Overcoming Shame: A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery with George Joseph

Episode Overview

  • Shame warps understanding of guilt in addiction
  • Community support helps combat feelings of defeat and isolation
  • Relapse is part of recovery journey with continuous growth and learning
  • Acceptance and self-compassion are key in overcoming shame
  • Seeking help and staying present are crucial steps in the recovery process
It's the ones that give up are the ones that are lost. I want to see the light and turn the light up. That's what recovery does.
Addiction can feel like a relentless cycle of sobriety, relapse, and shame. But what if breaking free from this cycle is possible? In this episode of Positive Recovery MD, Dr. Jason Powers sits down with George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, to discuss the impact of shame on addiction and the importance of continued treatment. They explore how shame distorts our perception of guilt, making us feel inherently flawed rather than recognizing our mistakes as opportunities for growth.
George shares his insights on why relapse doesn't mean you're broken and highlights the power of community support in the recovery journey. This conversation is a reminder that you're not alone; there are people ready to help because they've walked this path too. Tune in to discover how embracing self-compassion and seeking help can lead to true freedom and healing in sobriety.
