Finding Strength in Surrender: James Powell's Treatment Journey

Part of me recalled this worksheet while other parts of me observed my anxious thoughts of overwhelm. Isn't that what fake it until you make it means?
James Powell opens up about his transformative time in treatment in this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine'. Reflecting on what he describes as the most challenging yet rewarding period of his life, James shares how his initial approach to strength and control was actually causing harm to himself and those around him. Through therapy and group sessions, he began to uncover the deep-rooted shame and anxiety that fueled his addictive behaviors and fear-based thinking.
He candidly discusses the ongoing struggle with dissociation and the constant battle against the false belief that he must handle everything alone. James's story is a powerful reminder that surrendering control is not a sign of weakness but a path to healing. Surrounded by a loving community, he learned that he is not alone, and neither are you. Tune in to hear James's honest and vulnerable account of finding strength in surrender and embracing the support of those around us.
