Nobody is going to do this for you. If you want to get in shape, no one's going to go to the gym for you. Cause you're not going to remember, like when you have to take the responsibility enough to recognize that it's okay to utilize tools that you learned in kindergarten.
Ever felt like you're juggling too many balls at once, especially when it comes to recovery? In this episode of the Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Cast, host Sean Finnerty dives deep into the often overlooked but crucial aspect of self-care. Recovery isn't just about staying sober; it's about finding a balance that lets you thrive.
Sean shares his thoughts on how professionals in the recovery field can avoid burnout and compassion fatigue, a common pitfall for those who give so much of themselves to help others. He talks about the importance of setting boundaries and developing a 'callous'—not to become indifferent, but to protect your own emotional well-being while still being empathetic. But it’s not all about the professionals.
Sean also addresses those in early recovery, highlighting the need to rediscover joy in life and build a supportive community. He offers practical tips on how to navigate the discomfort that often accompanies the early stages of recovery. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone involved in the recovery journey, whether you're a professional, a person in recovery, or someone supporting a loved one.
Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that will leave you with practical advice and a renewed sense of hope.
