When we are babies and discover heat for the first time, the brain will remember that pain associated with that and prevent us from experiencing that pain as much as possible.
Ever felt the fear of falling back into old habits after making strides in your recovery journey? Tumi Dumasi tackles this very concern in her enlightening episode of 'Tumi's Daily Grind'. She breaks down the dreaded concepts of lapse and relapse, making it clear that while a lapse is a brief slip, a relapse can lead to a full-blown return to addictive behaviors.
Tumi doesn't just stop at definitions; she dives deep into the psychology behind addiction, explaining how our brains can be chemically rewired by substance use, making recovery an uphill battle. Tumi shares practical advice on recognizing and combating cognitive distortions—those pesky negative thought patterns like black-and-white thinking and catastrophizing that can derail progress. She emphasizes the importance of self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-care in rewiring our minds for better mental health.
Simple daily changes can make a world of difference in maintaining sobriety. One of the standout points in this episode is the focus on community support and spiritual connection. Tumi encourages listeners to lean on their community and strengthen their relationship with their higher power, especially during tough times. She also highlights the significance of recognizing early signs of regression, such as cravings or irrational thoughts, and taking proactive steps to address them.
With a blend of empathy and actionable advice, Tumi reassures her audience that setbacks are a common part of the recovery process. She reminds everyone to be kind to themselves and trust that they are not alone on this journey. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to 'Tumi's Daily Grind' for a heartfelt discussion on overcoming the fear of relapse.
