Women really focus on their emotional experience of shame and sadness at their failing as a mother, wife, girlfriend, partner, employee because of their substance abuse and substance addiction. They shy away from the idea of the experience of that shame, and so they are less apt to engage in it.
Ever wondered how men and women differ when it comes to recovery from addiction? In this episode of 'Doc Jacques: Your Addiction Lifeguard', Dr. Jacques de Broekert and a panel of expert clinicians tackle this fascinating topic. They dive into the distinct ways men and women navigate the challenging path of recovery, shedding light on how gender influences their experiences and strategies.
Women often grapple with deep emotional struggles, feeling shame and sadness for not fulfilling various roles due to addiction. On the other hand, men typically focus on setting and achieving specific goals during their recovery journey. The discussion doesn't stop there; it also explores the importance of experiential learning in effective recovery. With clinical insights and real-life stories, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the unique challenges faced by both genders.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable perspectives that can help in understanding and aiding the recovery process.
