Healing from Emotional Avoidance: Dr. Jacqui Mack-Harris' Story

To me, the biggest takeaway from just hearing you talk and listening to the insights that you have. A lot of people don't make it because you get a little bit overconfident.
Ever wondered how emotional avoidance can shape someone's life, especially in the high-pressure environment of the military? In this episode of 'Life Recovery Today', Stephen Arterburn chats with Dr. Jacqui Mack-Harris about her transformative journey from emotional avoidance to recovery. Dr. Mack-Harris opens up about her time in the military, where she often felt out of place, leading her to adopt negative coping mechanisms.
Reintegrating into civilian life posed its own set of challenges, but she found a lifeline in recovery principles and the unwavering support of her loved ones. She emphasizes the significance of accountability and maintaining daily practices to stay grounded in her healing journey. Her words, 'I put people in my life to hold me accountable, and that helps to remind me.
And just having a daily practice of checking in with God helps to remind me', resonate deeply with anyone on a similar path. Dr. Mack-Harris' story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of humility and consistency in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with emotional avoidance or seeking inspiration for their own recovery process.
