You cannot fix people who will not take feedback; they don't think they have a problem.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle of unwanted behaviours and can't seem to break free? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the tough but necessary topic of endings and how they play a crucial role in recovery. The conversation is both raw and relatable, offering a blend of Christian spirituality and psychological insights.
They tackle the concept of foolishness, emphasising the importance of being open to learning from others, no matter their background or expertise. The idea that 'you cannot fix people who will not take feedback' is a central theme, urging you to reflect on your own openness to growth and change. The hosts share real-life anecdotes, like the story of a spouse setting boundaries with an alcoholic partner.
This isn't just about laying down the law; it's about creating a space where real change can happen. The episode stresses that sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is to let someone face the consequences of their actions. It's a hard pill to swallow, but one that can lead to genuine transformation. West and Austin also explore the arrogance that comes with thinking there's nothing left to learn from others.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or someone just starting their recovery journey, there's always something new to learn. The episode encourages you to adopt a learner's mindset, which can open doors to deeper relationships and personal growth. Why should you listen to this episode? Because it offers practical advice wrapped in heartfelt discussions that can inspire you to make those tough decisions for your well-being.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement to keep pushing forward. So, are you ready to embrace necessary endings and pave the way for a healthier, more fulfilling life?
