Choosing Your Emotions: A Fresh Take on Shame and Addiction
“Your emotions don't happen to you. This is such a hard thing for people because you've been taught that you're fragile...”
Ever wondered if you have more control over your emotions than you think? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the often misunderstood emotion of shame. They argue that feeling shame is not an inevitable part of addiction but rather a choice you can manage. This episode is inspired by a listener's request, making it all the more relatable and grounded in real-life concerns.
Mark and Michelle dismantle the long-held belief that addiction is a lifelong disease, challenging the traditional rehab and 12-step approaches. Instead, they focus on the power of self-reflection and self-awareness as tools for overcoming addiction. If you're tired of the same old narratives about addiction and are looking for a new perspective that puts you in the driver's seat, this episode is a must-listen.
It offers practical advice on how to take control of your emotional responses, helping you to move past addiction and live a more fulfilling life.
