Kendra Ogdon: Navigating Recovery and Outpatient Programs

I just want to be free from how much weakness that I'm feeling when you see a hole, a pit that does not have.
Imagine feeling like you had to perform for love and validation from a young age. That’s the reality Kendra Ogdon faced, which eventually led her into a cycle of addiction. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy sits down with Kendra to explore her journey to sobriety and her impactful work as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) counsellor.
Kendra opens up about the struggles she faced, including her experiences with foster care and adoption, and how these early challenges influenced her addiction. She discusses the turning point that came when she found an outpatient program that fit her needs, allowing her to balance recovery with her daily responsibilities. This episode sheds light on the importance of validation and control in the recovery process, offering valuable insights into how these factors can help or hinder progress.
Kendra also touches on the role of crisis as a catalyst for change, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight resilience and determination. For anyone curious about the different types of treatment available, Kendra provides a detailed look at outpatient programs and who might benefit most from them. She emphasizes the importance of finding the right therapist and how therapy can be a powerful tool for healing.
Breaking the stigma around addiction is another key theme, as Kendra and Jean discuss how we can better support loved ones who are struggling. If you're looking for an episode filled with hope, practical advice, and heartfelt stories, this one is a must-listen.
