Facing the Mirror: Tara Boyce's Journey to Self-Acceptance

I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I am an abuser...I was teaching her a lesson, that I didn’t recognize I was doing anything wrong.
Ever found yourself being your own worst enemy? Tara Boyce knows that feeling all too well. In this deeply personal episode of 'Addicted to Recovery', Tara opens up about a startling realization: she has been her own abuser for years. She shares her story of mental, emotional, and even physical self-abuse, a behavior she once justified as 'teaching herself a lesson'. The twist? The person she was hurting was herself.
Tara delves into why we often treat ourselves worse than we would anyone else and how these harmful patterns can persist even when we know better. Through her raw and honest narrative, Tara emphasizes the importance of accountability and consistency in making lasting changes. She also sheds light on how negative self-talk can become a survival mechanism and shares her journey of learning to accept and move past these thoughts.
This episode isn't just about Tara's struggles; it's a conversation that invites you to reflect on your own behaviors and offers hope for recovery and self-improvement. If you've ever battled with self-criticism or are looking for insights into overcoming addiction and mental health challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
