Tapping the insights and support of people who know and care for us, especially when anger or fear might be clouding our judgment, can help us navigate different situations without losing our cool or threatening our recovery.
Ever feel like conflict is an unavoidable storm on your path to recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C. Moyers dives into the art of managing conflicts with the help of 'safe sounding boards'.

Bishop's approach focuses on establishing supportive relationships before we even need them, allowing us to lean on these 'safe sounding boards' during tough times. These trusted individuals can offer guidance and perspective, helping us navigate conflicts without losing our cool or jeopardizing our recovery. The episode also explores the importance of reflection and feedback, encouraging listeners to detach from rigid outcomes and stay open to alternative solutions.
Whether you're dealing with personal or professional conflicts, this episode offers valuable advice on maintaining your composure and growing through the challenges. Tune in for a mix of practical tips and heartfelt wisdom that can help you build stronger, more supportive relationships on your recovery journey.
