Seeking Approval: Family Dynamics and Self-Love on the 217 Recovery Podcast

All those feelings I had to deal with and I didn't even realize- I mean I realized there was something there, but I didn't realize the extent of it, of how I was looking for his approval, and I have never gotten it and I don't need it.
How often do we seek validation from those closest to us, and what happens when it doesn’t come? In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield and Ryan Beckman open up about their personal journeys with family, the quest for approval, and the path to self-acceptance. Ryan shares a light-hearted account of his Halloween festivities with his family, painting a vivid picture of joy and connection.
Meanwhile, Corey recounts helping a friend in need, showcasing the importance of community support. However, the conversation takes a deeper turn as both hosts discuss their longing for their fathers' approval. Corey reveals that he has never received his father's validation, a realization that hit him only recently. This revelation leads to an honest discussion about the significance of self-love and acceptance, even in the absence of familial approval.
Ryan adds his perspective on self-expression, particularly during Halloween, and how it serves as a liberating outlet. The episode also touches on role-playing in recovery as a method to navigate emotions and the power of encouraging words. Corey and Ryan emphasize the importance of giving back, whether through support groups or simple compliments to loved ones. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, the search for validation, and the journey towards self-love.
Tune in to hear Corey and Ryan’s candid stories and reflections, offering both inspiration and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery.
