Strengthening Your Support System: Wisdom from Kathy Robbins and Carissa

Many of us are inclined to shoulder far too much on our own, and need a little nudge to seek and accept help from others...Can you imagine that you know tic-tac-toe board and there's nine different squares right, and so you want to have a person in each one of those squares that is supporting your bigger game of getting sober.
Ever feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're not alone. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, Jean McCarthy dives into the crucial topic of building a robust support system during recovery. Jean chats with psychotherapist and sober coach, Kathy Robbins, who shares valuable insights on what makes a good support network and how to cultivate one.
They revisit an earlier episode featuring Carissa, who opens up about her journey in creating her own support system. One of the standout ideas discussed is having a 'come in and get me person'—someone who can be there for you at any time, no questions asked. Kathy emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and being open about your struggles to build genuine connections.
Jean also reads a heartfelt poem from her book, 'The Ember Ever There: Poems on Change, Grief, Growth, Recovery, and Rediscovery', highlighting the significance of holding space for others. If you're looking for practical advice and emotional encouragement to bolster your support network, this episode is a must-listen.
