Changing your relationship to alcohol really is about changing your relationship to yourself.
Have you ever thought about how your childhood emotions might be influencing your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives into the idea of befriending your inner child as a key step in changing how you view alcohol. It's not just about quitting drinking; it's about understanding and validating the emotions that drive you to drink in the first place.
Mary explains that many of us find it easier to show compassion to our younger selves than to our adult selves. By tapping into this compassionate perspective, you can start to heal and develop a more intimate relationship with yourself. Forget about the myths of distraction and replacement - this episode is all about genuine self-compassion and emotional validation.
Mary guides listeners through her Five Shifts Process, emphasizing the importance of finding your own language and viewing yourself as a student in this journey. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to break free from alcohol's grip by reconnecting with their inner child and taking control of their thoughts and feelings. Tune in for an inspiring and hopeful discussion that could change the way you see yourself and your relationship with alcohol.
