Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.
Relapse is a tough hurdle on the path to recovery, but it's not the end of the journey. In this episode of 'Quantum Leap Recovery', Dr. Peter Grigg dives into the emotional rollercoaster that sponsors, coaches, and therapists face when their clients experience a relapse. With a blend of empathy and practical advice, Dr. Grigg sheds light on the common feelings of anger, fear, guilt, and even condescending pride that helpers might encounter.
He doesn't just stop at identifying these emotions; he offers actionable strategies to manage them. From prioritizing self-care to seeking professional guidance and talking to trusted friends, this episode is packed with tools to help helpers stay resilient. Dr. Grigg also emphasizes the importance of maintaining hope and viewing relapse as a challenge to overcome rather than a failure. If you're involved in supporting someone through their recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen for practical advice and emotional support.
