But this is your behavior and this is how you're showing up in the world. You know, we see it in all types of dynamics. I'm not only addicted to the cause, but I'm also addicted to the symptom of what I think makes me safe, of what I think you know keeps me not being threatened or whatever.
Ever thought about racism as an addiction? In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner chat with speaker, counselor, and author Ester Nicholson. Nicholson brings a fresh perspective, suggesting that racism is more than just a social issue—it's an addiction and an identity crisis deeply rooted in our history and environment. Her program, Soul Recovery, aims to heal these ingrained patterns on a spiritual and emotional level.
Drawing from her own journey through addiction and recovery, Nicholson explains how trauma and unconscious behaviors fuel both addiction and racism. She shares how childhood beliefs and societal messages shape our adult identities and actions. But rather than relying solely on education or changing language, Soul Recovery seeks to address the underlying spiritual and emotional wounds that perpetuate racism. Throughout the conversation, Nicholson, Schrank, and Dresner share personal stories and reflections, making the discussion both engaging and relatable.
They emphasize the need for empathy and understanding in tackling these complex issues. If you're curious about a unique approach to combating racism or want to explore addiction recovery from a different angle, this episode is a must-listen.
