Finding Balance: Embracing Emotions on the Road to Recovery

But it s true, I got to be kind and gentle with myself, I got to be patient, I got to you know, parent myself, as if I was being perfectly parented. You know taking baby steps and just know that I m on the path to change and in a really really good situation.
Ever find yourself hiding away from your emotions, both good and bad? In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Preston Moore opens up about his personal journey of emotional highs and lows. He candidly shares how his instinct to retreat to a 'safe place' often kept him from fully experiencing life. Preston describes this safe place as staying calm on the surface, like a duck gliding on water, while chaos brews underneath.
By avoiding negative feelings such as shame and fear, he also missed out on joy and excitement. The realization that he was protecting his emotions so fiercely came as a surprise to him. So, what's the way forward? Preston emphasizes the importance of patience and treating recovery like a marathon, not a sprint. Through his story, he hopes to inspire others to recognize their own emotional patterns and embrace the full spectrum of their feelings.
He advocates for the power of counseling, therapy, and support groups, encouraging listeners to share their experiences and break the stigma around struggles. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that acknowledging and embracing our emotions is a crucial step towards healing and personal growth.
