Good things don't come from black-and-white thinking they really don't. And you know I would say, when you're sick of school, at a time when it's safe, if you have a day or two without reading anything, go ahead and do it and then get back to it. You know I like the idea of questioning more.
Perfectionism, control, and shame—three heavyweights that can weigh you down, especially if you're struggling with addiction. In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Aleta Edwards, Psy.D., the author of 'Fear of the Abyss: Healing the Wounds of Shame & Perfectionism'. Edwards offers a fresh take on how these emotional challenges can be tackled through innovative methods like psychodynamic therapy and holistic approaches.
The conversation dives into the pitfalls of traditional treatment programs and introduces exercises designed to help build tolerance for difficult emotions. Edwards also encourages listeners to question their own black-and-white thinking and explore personalized solutions that work best for them. This episode isn't just about understanding these issues; it's about finding practical ways to overcome them. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this discussion offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
