Courage is that really hard place to go where we stand in the middle of this naked soul and we reach down in that emotional backpack and we pull these things out and we deal with them.
Imagine sitting down with your deepest fears and anxieties, facing them head-on instead of running away. In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox dives into the essence of courage in the context of trauma and addiction. Cox breaks down the common misconception that mindfulness can erase pain. Instead, he explains how mindfulness equips us to handle pain more effectively. Courage, as Cox describes, isn't an innate trait but a willingness to confront our fears and pain directly.
Often, we shove our traumas into a metaphorical backpack, hoping to deal with them later. This episode challenges that approach, urging listeners to unpack their emotional baggage and examine it closely. Through a guided mindfulness exercise, Cox encourages you to visualize a painful memory as a stone on a table. By focusing on its weight and size, you can better understand how your pain affects you. Deep breaths play a crucial role in this exercise, linking mindfulness with physical calmness.
This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that courage is essential for recovery. By facing our pain with bravery, we can begin to move past it and regain control of our lives. If you're dealing with trauma or addiction, this episode offers practical steps to help you confront your fears and start healing. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on the real meaning of courage and how mindfulness can support your journey.
