If something has upset me and I speak about it and the response isn't: oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, it's... there is obviously a bigger picture at play here.
Imagine being told your whole life that you're 'too sensitive' or a 'cry baby'. In this episode of the Detox Podcast, Denise Walker flips that script and shows how embracing sensitivity can be a superpower in recovery. Through her poetic lens, Denise delves into the idea that our feelings, even the ones society deems as weaknesses, are actually powerful tools for personal growth. She shares her own experiences of learning to accept and harness her emotions rather than suppressing them.
This isn't just about feeling more; it's about understanding why we react the way we do and how those reactions can guide us toward healing. Denise uses her poetry collection, 'Pick Your Poison', as a backdrop to discuss how reactivity can reveal our shadow selves—the parts of us shaped by past traumas and experiences. By diving deep into these reactions, we can uncover the roots of our triggers and start the journey of transforming pain into strength.
One of the standout points in this episode is the impact of other people's reactions on us. Denise highlights that our responses often stem from past hurts rather than the present moment. Understanding this can help us break free from old patterns and start healing. She also stresses the importance of finding our own path in recovery. What works for one person might not work for another, and that's okay.
By embracing vulnerability and honesty, we can chart a course that's uniquely ours. If you're on a journey of sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on using sensitivity as a tool for growth. Denise's insights and poetry provide a comforting companion on the path to self-discovery and healing.
