Unconditional positive regard is about holding people in a positive regard, regardless of what they said or shared, and just supporting them.
Have you ever wondered how to truly support someone in their recovery journey? In this episode of the Detox Podcast, Denise Walker dives into the concept of Unconditional Positive Regard, a term coined by Carl Rogers in client-based therapy. This idea revolves around holding others in a positive light, no matter what they share or how they behave.
Denise recounts her experiences at Hip Sobriety School and explains how this approach has been a cornerstone in her support for others in recovery. But it's not just about endless positivity; Denise also stresses the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care. She offers practical advice on handling triggering situations and discusses the intriguing concept of 'giving what we keep'.
Throughout the episode, Denise's poetry collection, 'Pick Your Poison', serves as a backdrop, providing a unique resource for those on their own recovery paths. Tune in to learn how to better support yourself and others with empathy and understanding.
