Do we always have to learn our lessons alone?
Ever found yourself wanting to help a friend but worried you might be doing more harm than good? Denise Walker's 'Detox Podcast' takes you on a heartfelt journey through this delicate balance. In this episode, titled 'Responsible', Denise opens up about her own experiences with recovery and the lessons she learned about offering support without overstepping boundaries. Drawing from her poem 'Responsible' from her collection 'Pick Your Poison', Denise shares the fine line between helping and hindering.
She candidly discusses how her enthusiasm for her own recovery strategies sometimes led her to push them onto others, often with unintended consequences. It's a relatable tale of good intentions gone awry, but also a lesson in finding a better way. Denise touches on the complexities of toxic relationships and how our sympathetic nervous system reacts to emotional stress. She offers practical advice on how to diffuse tense situations and the importance of staying in your own lane.
Her insights are not just about what to do, but also about what not to do, reminding us that sometimes the best support we can offer is simply being there. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to provide loving support to friends and family in recovery without trying to fix everything. It's a blend of personal reflection and practical tips, wrapped in the comforting voice of someone who's been there.
Tune in to hear Denise's wisdom and perhaps find a new perspective on your own journey of support.
