In this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the concept of 'Necessary Endings'. They explore the delicate balance between recognising harmful relationships and making the tough decision to end them. The conversation dives into understanding the difference between ignorance and foolishness, and how these traits impact our lives and relationships.
Wes and Austin provide a nuanced view of 'evil' people, suggesting that most individuals are simply doing their best with what they have, rather than intentionally causing harm. They also discuss the importance of setting boundaries and how sometimes, ending a relationship can be the healthiest choice for personal growth. Drawing from Henry Cloud's book, they highlight the idea of 'failing well', which means recognising when something isn't working and choosing to do something better.
This episode is filled with practical advice and heartfelt reflections that can resonate with anyone facing difficult relationship decisions. Don't miss out on this engaging and thought-provoking discussion!
