Prelapse: The Unseen Struggle in Relapse Prevention
“It is about having insight and it's about being connected... somebody who gets to know you, understands you, values you, because the systems themselves in general are not really valuing you, like there are just systems right to design, to do something that's not not unique to you, right?”
Ever felt like you were on the brink of relapse without even realizing it? In this episode of 'Health Professionals in Recovery', hosts Sean Fogler and William Kinkle tackle the elusive concept of 'prelapse'. Bill shares a personal story about his recent brush with relapse, shedding light on how subtle and sneaky the triggers can be.
He talks about the importance of knowing yourself well enough to recognize these signs and how peer support played a crucial role in pulling him back from the edge. Sean and Bill dive into why cookie-cutter relapse prevention plans often fall short and why personalized care is essential. They also discuss the unique pressures faced by healthcare professionals in recovery, including the sometimes restrictive nature of monitoring organizations and the brain disease model.
By sharing their own experiences, they emphasize the need for a more compassionate, individualized approach to recovery. Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone in recovery, or just curious about the complexities of addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
