Embracing Compassion: A Vital Element in Recovery
Compassion is an interesting thing, because compassion can work in another way too. But sometimes I think we're like: oh, it's all right, don't worry about it, and that's not compassionate.
Ever thought about how compassion can change your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, dives deep into the role of compassion in healing and recovery. With a mix of personal anecdotes and expert insights, Monty and his guests shed light on why being compassionate isn't just about helping others, but also about nurturing yourself.
They discuss the importance of using kind words and actions to bring comfort and healing, contrasting it with the harshness that many people often face. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that encourages listeners to reflect on their own approach to compassion. Are you someone who offers a helping hand, or do you find yourself being critical of those less fortunate? The discussion also touches on self-compassion and patience, key elements that can significantly impact one's recovery journey.
