Most of us carry more than our share of shame. I will not add to the problem by using cruel, clever words to humiliate a fellow human being.
Ever found yourself lashing out with a sarcastic remark or a cutting comment, only to feel regret later? In this episode of 'Al-Anon Reading', Joy de Leon, along with a special guest, dives into the harmful effects of sarcasm and humiliation on the recovery journey. They discuss how these verbal weapons can deepen feelings of shame and guilt, making the path to healing even more challenging. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Joy and her guest share practical tips on how to shift from hurtful communication to compassionate conversations. They suggest reaching out to Al-Anon friends, attending meetings for perspective, or even jotting down your feelings and discussing them with a sponsor. The episode highlights that by letting go of the urge to humiliate, we can nurture self-compassion and build healthier relationships.
If you’re looking for ways to improve your communication and support your recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt advice.
