I think people are always surprised when Dr. Kelly shows up and admits all the ways he's still wrestling with everything. If we can acknowledge that we're all on the same boat, we all picked up that wound, that pain early on, we're not good enough, we've all got at least one voice telling us we're not good enough.
What happens when you embrace discomfort instead of running from it? In this episode of 'Recovery Greenhouse', host Gerald Lott sits down with Dr. Kelly Flanagan, a clinical psychologist and author, to discuss the transformative power of facing our fears head-on. Dr. Flanagan, known for his book 'Lovable', shares his wisdom on recognizing our worthiness and tackling the inner voices that often tell us we aren't enough.
The conversation touches on the complexities of addiction, how pain is relative, and the crucial role of emotional resilience in managing life's challenges. Gerald and Dr. Flanagan also delve into how childhood experiences shape our adult lives and the importance of supporting each other on the road to recovery. This episode is packed with heartfelt moments and practical advice, reminding us that asking for help is a courageous step towards healing.
