Substances tend to fill a need. I just don't think addiction has to be a dirty word... we have to take the sprains seriously as well, and that also goes for sprains in our emotional health and our mental health and allowing ourselves to have bad days, but also knowing what to do if that happens.
What happens when you combine personal experience with professional expertise in addiction recovery? This episode of 'Lifeways Connections' answers that question through the eyes of Emily Jackson, an intensive outpatient counselor at Lifeways, Inc. Host Kristina Benter sits down with Emily to discuss her journey, from her own one-day-at-a-time childhood to her impactful work with adolescents battling substance abuse. Emily’s story is a blend of hope, resilience, and practical wisdom that anyone touched by addiction will find invaluable.
She dives into the importance of effective communication and connection in the recovery process, shedding light on how these elements can make or break the journey to sobriety. Emily also emphasizes the role of families, not just as support systems but as active participants in the recovery journey. Her insights into prevention and holistic treatment approaches offer a fresh perspective on tackling addiction from multiple angles.
If you’re looking for a mix of professional advice and heartfelt storytelling, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how compassion, self-care, and hope play crucial roles in promoting emotional wellness and recovery.
