Reconnecting with the joyous child inside us becomes the focus of our recovery from addictions and trauma in this episode.
Remember when life was all about fun and games? In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', host Robert Cox invites us to reconnect with that playful spirit buried deep within. It's easy to forget the joy of play as we grow up, especially when dealing with trauma and addiction. But Cox believes that rediscovering this joy is a crucial part of the healing process.
He dives into how childhood conditioning often leaves us feeling 'not good enough' and how these feelings can persist into adulthood. By looking inward and meeting the needs of our inner child, we can begin to heal those old wounds and bring joy back into our lives. Cox explains how mindfulness techniques, like deep breathing and non-judgmental observation, can help create an emotional space where we can start to live without reacting to pain.
He also shares insights on the brain science behind mindfulness and its benefits for recovery. Plus, there's a sneak peek at an upcoming interview with Michael, a software guru who developed a recovery app based on his own journey with addiction. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is an ongoing process and that finding joy in small things can make a big difference.
So, think back to what made you smile as a kid and consider bringing some of that fun back into your life. It's not just about recovery; it's about rediscovering the joy of living.
