I think the question is who's talking. The more I'm doing that, the clearer I am with how simple things might be. If I can have those eyes or to see things as they are, then things would be very clear.
Imagine growing up in a world where addiction and mental illness cast long shadows over your family. This is the reality Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger faced, and in this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', he shares his incredible journey from Montreal to becoming a beacon of hope for many. Rabbi Bresinger's story is not just about his own path but about how he has dedicated his life to helping others navigate the murky waters of addiction and trauma.
As the Director of Chabad Lifeline, a non-sectarian addiction counselling centre, he works tirelessly to create safe spaces where individuals, especially children, can find moments of clarity and express themselves freely. One poignant moment he shares is about a carpool ride that turned into a powerful lesson on integrating different parts of oneself, from the critical parent to the rebellious teenager.
This episode dives deep into the emotional wounds that drive certain behaviours and highlights the importance of self-compassion and understanding. Rabbi Bresinger’s insights on survival and manipulation are both eye-opening and heartwarming, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or seeking to understand it better.
